Question

amistre64 · Answer

is it:

(4-8x)/(x+1) = 8/(x+1)  ?

amistre64 · Answer

or.. (4-8x)/(x+1) = (8/x)+1?

amistre64 · Answer

first ones easy: denominators dont count.. much.

4-8x = 8

-8x = 8-4

-8x = 4

x = (-1/2)

nowhereman · Answer

$$4 - \frac{8x}{x} + 1 = \frac{8}{x} + 1 $$ $$ ⇔ x \neq 0 ∧ -3 = \frac{8}{x} + 1 $$ $$ ⇔x \neq 0 ∧ x = \frac{8}{-4} ⇔ x = -2$$

The problem is 4- 8x over x+1 = 8 over x+1. I have to solve it.
