OpenStudy (anonymous):

The denominators are the same, so set the numerators equal.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

However, because there is (x-4) in the denominator, x=4 will cause division by zero.

hero (hero):

\[\frac{x}{x-4} = \frac{4}{x-4}\] \[\frac{x}{x-4} - \frac{4}{x-4} = 0\] \[\frac{x-4}{x-4}= 0\] \[1 = 0\] False
