Question

please solve this Equation.
(x-4)/(x+2)=5

Answer 1

x2 - 2x/-4x-8=5
-2x / 32 =5
-16x =5
x=-16/5
=3.2
i think..

Answer 2

Multiply both sides by x+2:
x-4=5(x+2)
Distribute the 5:
x-4=5x+10
Subtract 5x from both sides. Add 4 to both sides:
-4x=14
Divide both sides by -4:
x=-7/2

Hope that helps
