Question

solve
8/x+6=7/x-5

Answer 1

Solution:

x = -1/11

Answer 2

kianap4, is this
\[\frac{8}{x}+6=\frac{7}{x}-5\] or is it
\[\frac{8}{x+6}=\frac{7}{x-5}\]?

Answer 3

since it's an equation with an equal sign, we are allowed to flip it:\[(X+6)/8 = (X-5)/7\]
Then with simple multiplications on both sides, we should be able to eliminate the fractions. \[7(X+6)/8 = (X-5)\]
\[7X + 42 = 8(X-5)\]
Just distribute and preform basic algebra to get the value of X, which is supposed to be X=82
