Answer: 2

Step-by-step explanation: This is incredibly simple first we can match the denominators, 4*13 = 52 and that means we have to do that to numerators to, 8x*4 = 32x so now our equation is 32x/52 = 64/52 and as we know 32*2 = 64 so that means x = 2.

x=2
Simplify 64/52
64/52=16/13
To get 16/13, you have to cancel out the common factor which is 4.
8/13x=16/13
8•13=104
13•16=208
208 / 104 = 2
Therefore,
x=2
