Answer:

5/8x+1/2x-4=5

or, 5(2x-4)+8x= 5

or, 10x- 20+8x=5

or, 10x-8x= 20+5

or, 2x= 25

or,x= 25/2

:.x= 25/2

Explanation:

first we have to make denominator then we can criss cross multiply. we can make in same point .if there is plus we can subtract and if there is front minus if we take it back it must be plus. then we can put same point then we can divide
