Answer

x = (52/11) OR 4.73 OR 4 (8/11)

Step-by-step explanation

We are asked to solve for x in the given expression


(2x-9)/(5)=(x-4)/(8)

So, to solve, we just cross multiply

(8) (2x - 9) = (5) (x - 4)

16x - 72 = 5x - 20

16x - 5x = 72 - 20

11x = 52

Divide both sides by 11

(11x/11) = (52/11)

x = 4.73 OR 4 (8/11)

Hope this Helps!!!
