What is the solution of 1/2x-8=-3/2x+2?

Question

anonymous · Answer

$$1/2 x - 8 = -3/2 x + 2$$$$(x - 16)/2 = (-3x + 4)/2$$ After cross multiplication, $$2x - 32 = -6x + 8$$$$2x + 6x = 8 + 32$$$$8x = 40$$$$x= 40/8$$Or$$x=5.$$

@prince of persia how did u got (x-16)/2 .. if u've multiply by z denominator..2x u r supoosed to get (1-16x)/2

anonymous · Answer

@coolaidd z answer is not 5 but 1/3. 

firstly just multiply z equations by z denominator.. u'll get  $$1-16x =-3+4x$$ simply u'll get $$-12x =-4$$ and z answer is 1/3

$$\frac{1}{2x-8}  =\frac{-3}{2x+2}  $$
$$2x+2 = -3(2x-8)$$
$$2x+2=-6x+24$$
$$8x=22$$
$$x = 22/8$$

anonymous · Answer

i will let you all know which one is right.. thank you!

mimi_x3 · Answer

So $$x = \frac{11}{4} $$ http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=1%2F%282x-8%29%3D%28-3%2F%282x%2B2%29 So no one was correct I believe.
