(x-8)/(x+1)= 5/4

\frac{x - 8}{x + 1} = \frac{5}{4}

x = - 37

Solution steps

\frac{x - 8}{x + 1} = \frac{5}{4}

Cross multiply

4 x - 32 = 5 x + 5

Move

32

to the right side

4 x = 5 x + 37

Move

5 x

to the left side

- x = 37

Divide both sides by

- 1

x = - 37

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = - 1

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = - 37

3.5 = \frac{25}{x}

\frac{2 x + 9}{x + 5} = 4

x, t = \frac{p d}{2 x}

x + 1 = \frac{1}{x}

\frac{2 ( x ^{4} - 1 )}{x ^{3}} = 0
