I'm thinking this is what the problem looks like:
. The first thing to do is to move the
over to the other side because it has a common denominator with the other side. Doing that and at the same time combining them over their common denominator looks like this:
. The best way to solve for x now is to cross-multiply to get 3(4-x)=-4(x-4). Distributing through the parenthesis is 12 - 3x = -4x + 16. Solving for x gives us x = 4. Of course when we sub a 4 back in for x we get real problems, don't we? Dividing by zero breaks every rule in math that there ever was! So, yes, the solution is extraneous.
Answer:
If you look at the "Standard Form" column, you can take any number from an upper row and divide it by 4 to get the number in the row below it.
For example: You can take 256 and divide it by 4, and that will give you 64. Like wise, if you take 64 and divide it by 4 you will get 16.
This tells us that every time you add 4 to the equation, your answer will keep increasing 4 times.

Hope that makes sense :)

Answer:
$6.37
Step-by-step explanation:
Jane and 3 friends = Jane + another 3 people
= 4 people in total
Total Cost of pizza = $25.48
If 4 people split $25.48 evenly,
Amount each friend has to pay = Total Cost of pizza/Total number of people
= $25.48/4
= $6.37 per friend
Each friend has to pay $6.37 each if $25.48 is splitted evenly amongst them
