5/(x-4)= 3/(x+8)

\frac{5}{x - 4} = \frac{3}{x + 8}

x = - 26

Solution steps

\frac{5}{x - 4} = \frac{3}{x + 8}

Cross multiply

5 x + 40 = 3 x - 12

Move

40

to the right side

5 x = 3 x - 52

Move

3 x

to the left side

2 x = - 52

Divide both sides by

2

x = - 26

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = 4, x = - 8

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = - 26

- \frac{2}{x} = \frac{7}{x - 9} - 1

V, d = \frac{m}{V}

\frac{x + 3}{x} = \frac{2}{5}

\frac{x + 2}{x - 8} = \frac{3}{2}

\frac{8}{x + 3} = \frac{9}{x + 4}
