Question

Solve for x in 4x-4/x+4=10

Answer 1

x = -22/3

Explanation:

4x - 4 / x + 4 = 10

=> 4x - 4 = 10(x + 4)

=> 4x - 4 = 10x + 40

=> 4x - 10x = 40 + 4

=> -6x = 44

=> x = -44/6

=> x = -22/3

Answer 2

-22/3 =x

Explanation:

(4x-4) /(x+4) = 10

Multiply each side by (x+4)

(4x-4) /(x+4) * (x+4) = 10 * (x+4)

(4x-4) = 10 * (x+4)

Distribute

4x-4 = 10x+40

Subtract 4x from each side

4x-4-4x = 10-4x+40

-4 = 6x+40

subtract 40 from each side

-4 -40 = 6x+40-40

-44 = 6x

Divide each side by 6

-44/6 = -6x/6

-22/3 =x
