You can get this by first distributing all of the fractions from the outside of the parenthesis to the inside terms. Don't forget to make everything a fraction before multiplying. Then simplify and solve for x.
Answer:
There is one solution: 2
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to distribute the 2 to (5x-8) which gets us the equation:
4 + 10x - 16 = 2x + 4
Add like terms on the left side
10x - 12 = 2x +4
Get the variable "x" to one side and isolate it
8x = 16
Divide both sides by 8
x = 2
2 is the only solution to this problem
