. Find the value of x when: 4/(x - 8) = 8/2 *

Sagot :

Answer:

The value of x is 9

Explanation:

Given the equation:

[tex]\frac{4}{x-8}=\frac{8}{2}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 2(x-8)

[tex]\begin{gathered} 4\times2=8(x-8) \\ 8=8(x-8) \end{gathered}[/tex]

Divide both sides by 8

[tex]x-8=1[/tex]

Finally, add 8 to both sides

[tex]x=1+8=9[/tex]
