6/x-8=2/x+6 how do i solve this

1 answer:

8 0

6/(x-8)=2/(x+6)
times both sides by (x-8)(x+6)
6(x+6)=2(x-8)
distribute
6x+36=2x-16
minus 2x both sides
4x+36=-16
miinus 36 both sides
4x=-52
divide both sides by 4
x=-13

Solve and check 8-(6-8x) =4x+4

navik [9.2K]

Greetings!

"Solve and check $8-(6-8x)=4x+4$ "...

Solve for x:
 $8-(6-8x)=4x+4$
Remove the Parenthesis.
$8-6-8x=4x+4$
Simplify.
$2-8x=4x+4$
Add -4 to both sides.
$(2-8x)+(-4)=(4x+4)+(-4)$
Simplify.
$-2-8x=4x$
Add 8x to both sides.
$(-2-8x)+8x=(4x)+8x$
Simplify.
$-2=12x$
Divide both sides by 12.
$(-2)/12=(12x)/12$
Simplify.
$-0.166666667=x$

The answer is: x=-0.166666667

Hope this helps.
