Answer 3

ok so sorry, i haven't done this for a while, for all items, you would want to do the opposite of it on both sides (example division opposite is multiplication)

Answer 4

\(\large\bf \frac{8}{x} =\frac{x}{x-2}\)

We need to use this:

\(\large \bf \frac{a}{b}=\frac{c}{d}\)

becomes \(\large\bf ad = bc\)

This is called cross multiplying.

Answer 5

There has to be an equal sign

8(x-2) = x(x)

Solve for x

Answer 6

Oh, my bad. We need to set it equal to 0 and then factor it. :)

Answer 7

\[x ^{2}-8x+16=0\]
\[(x-4)^{2} =0\]
Answer is x = 4
