Question

Y=(8)/(3-x) solve for x. The 8 is over 3-x, it is a fraction.

Answer 1

x = -(8 - 3 y)/y

Explanation:

Solve for x:

y = 8/(3 - x)

y = 8/(3 - x) is equivalent to 8/(3 - x) = y:

8/(3 - x) = y

Take the reciprocal of both sides:

(3 - x)/8 = 1/y

Multiply both sides by 8:

3 - x = 8/y

Subtract 3 from both sides:

-x = (8 - 3 y)/y

Multiply both sides by -1:

Answer: x = -(8 - 3 y)/y

Answer 2

`\huge\boxed{x=3-(8)/(y)}`

`y=(8)/(3-x)`

Multiply both sides of the equation by
`(3-x)`.
`y(3-x)=8`

Divide both sides by
`y`.
`3-x=(8)/(y)`

Subtract
`3` from both sides.
`-x=(8)/(y)-3`

Multiply both sides by
`-1`, making everything opposite.
`\boxed{x=3-(8)/(y)}`
