Question

Solve for X, be sure to show all WORK !
x-8 1
--------- = ------
X+4 5

Answer 1

are the X's supposed to be different sizes??

Answer 2

No . That was a accident that i made them diffrent sizes .

Answer 3

ok... Another way to write it:

\[x+4*1 = x-8*5\]

Answer 4

\[\frac{ x - 8 }{ x - 4 } = \frac{ 1 }{ 5 }\]
This is a proportion, so we can multiply the diagonals and set them equal to each other.
\[5(x-8) = x-4\]
Distribute:
\[5x - 40= x-4\]
Simplify it a little:
\[4x - 40= -4\]
Now I'll leave you to solve the rest.

Answer 5

1(x+4) = 5(x-8)

1x+4 = 5x-40
-1x -1x

4 = 4x-40
+40 +40

44 = 4x

44/4 = 4x/4

44/4 = x

x = 11

Answer 9

Your very Welcome ;)

Answer 10

Do you need anymore help?? @Forever_Me

Answer 11

Yes @LizzyLove<3

x-4
--------- <4
x+5

Answer 12

Change '<' to an equal sign... then write four as 4/1

Answer 13

1(x-4) = 4(x+5)

1x-4 = 4x + 20
-1x -1x

-4 = 3x + 20
-20 -20

-24 = 3x

-24/3 = 3x/3

-8 = x
