Question

x-2/x+4=x-6/x-4

Answer 1

Is the problem supposed to be this?

@cutegirl (x-2) / (x+4) =(x-6) / (x-4)

Answer 2

If so, use the Means-Extremes Property to get
(x-2)*(x-4) = (x + 4)*(x - 6)
Crank that out and solve for x.
Post what you get, okay?

Answer 3

so x-8=x-2? @Directrix

Answer 4

Solve this x-8=x-2 for x and post what you get. Then, we'll check. Okay? @cutegirl

Answer 5

I think you lost the middle terms when you multiplied the two binomials.

(x-2)*(x-4) = (x + 4)*(x - 6)
x^2 - 6x + 8 = x^2 -2x -24
The x^2 terms subtract off so what is the value of x that makes this true:

-6x + 8 = -2x - 24 @cutegirl

Answer 6

x=8
