x/x+5=x-4/x
@xapproachesinfinity
i am going to guess that this is \[\frac{x}{x+5}=\frac{x-4}{x}\] is that correct?
Yes
then since \[\frac{a}{b}=\frac{c}{d}\iff ad =bc\] start wotj \[x^2=(x-4)(x+5)\] and solve that one

*with
Yes i agree with that then after expanding the equation i got x^2=x^2+x-20
I can not go further than that
subtract \(x^2\) from both sides
Okay i think i can take it from here But hold on to check if am correct

\[\frac{x}{x+5}=\frac{x-4}{x}\] put \(x=20\) get \[\frac{20}{20+5}=\frac{20-4}{20}\]
or \[\frac{20}{25}=\frac{16}{20}\] true or false?
true
then you are right
4/5 in both sides
