What is the solution to 8/x+2=2/x-4

x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

8/x+2=2/x-4

8/x=2/x-6

8=2-6x

6=-6x

-1=x

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

8/x+2=2/x-4

Using cross products

8*(x-4) = 2 (x+2)

Distribute

8x - 32 = 2x+4

Subtract 2x

8x-2x -32 = 2x-2x+4

6x-32 = 4

Add 32

6x-32+32 = 4+32

6x = 36

Divide by 6

6x/6 = 36/6

x = 6

{x = -1/2 ,   y = -1

step-by-step explanation:

solve the following system:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

in the first equation, look to solve for y:

{2 x + y = -2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

subtract 2 x from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 y = -2

substitute y = -2 x - 2 into the second equation:

{y = -2 x - 2

{10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = -2

10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = (6 x + 6) + 10 x = 16 x + 6:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

in the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x + 6 = -2

subtract 6 from both sides:

{y = -2 x - 2

{16 x = -8

divide both sides by 16:

{y = -2 x - 2

{x = -1/2

substitute x = -1/2 into the first equation:

{y = -1

{x = -1/2
