(x+8)/(x-8)=16

\frac{x + 8}{x - 8} = 16

x = \frac{136}{15}

Solution steps

\frac{x + 8}{x - 8} = 16

Multiply both sides by

x - 8

x + 8 = 16 (x - 8)

Expand

16 (x - 8) : 16 x - 128

x + 8 = 16 x - 128

Move

8

to the right side

x = 16 x - 136

Move

16 x

to the left side

- 15 x = - 136

Divide both sides by

- 15

x = \frac{136}{15}
