Answer 1

If I had a quarter for every time I saw this question...

Answer 2

\[\frac{3}{2} - \frac{1}{x-4} = -\frac{2}{2x-8}\]

Answer 3

\[\frac{3}{2} - \frac{1}{x-4} = -\frac{2}{2(x-4)}\]

Answer 4

\[\frac{3}{2} - \frac{1}{x-4} = -\frac{1}{x-4}\]

Answer 5

\[\frac{3}{2} = \frac{1}{x-4} -\frac{1}{x-4}\]

Answer 6

\[\frac{3}{2} = 0\]

False, therefore no solution
