Answer:

x=21

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 2x-2/5*5=8*5 Multiply the 5 on both sides to cancel out the denominator.

2. 2x-2+2=40+2 Add 2 on both sides to isolate the term with the variable.

3. 2x/2=42/2 Divide both sides by 2 in order to isolate the variable itself. Yay, you got the answer, 21!

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{-8}{2y-8}=\dfrac{5}{y+4}-\dfrac{7y+8}{y^2-16} \quad\text{given}\\\\\dfrac{-4(y+4)}{y^2-16}=\dfrac{5(y-4)}{y^2-16}-\dfrac{7y+8}{y^2-16} \quad\text{use common denominator}\\\\-4y-16=5y-20-7y-8 \quad\text{multiply by that denominator}\\\\12=2y \quad\text{add 4y+28}\\\\6=y \quad\text{divide by 2}$
