Answer 2

so can I check, is x - 2 a numerator...?

\[5 + \frac{x -2}{8} = \frac{x + 3}{8}\]

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

ok... so you need to multiply every term by 8... that will eliminate the denominators

\[40 + x -2 = x + 3\]

Answer 5

but here is the catch... the equation has no solution...

x + 38 = x + 3

Answer 6

subtract x from both sides of the equation leaves

38 = 3

Answer 7

im confused

Answer 8

can you use the draw option to write the equation...
