(x-8)/5 = 2/4

\frac{x - 8}{5} = \frac{2}{4}

x = \frac{21}{2}

Solution steps

\frac{x - 8}{5} = \frac{2}{4}

Cancel the common factor:

2

\frac{x - 8}{5} = \frac{1}{2}

Multiply both sides by

5

x - 8 = \frac{5}{2}

Move

8

to the right side

x = \frac{21}{2}

x, y - 4 x = - 8

- 3 + x - 5 [(2 x + 4) - (x + 2)] = x + 2

5 (x - 4) = 2 (2 x + 5)

2 - y = 3

5 + 8 x = 37
