Question

. Find the value of x when: 4/(x - 8) = 8/2 *

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of x is 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:

`(4)/(x-8)=(8)/(2)`

Multiply both sides by 2(x-8)

`\begin{gathered} 4*2=8(x-8) \\ 8=8(x-8) \end{gathered}`

Divide both sides by 8

`x-8=1`

Finally, add 8 to both sides

`x=1+8=9`
