(1-3x)/(4x-2)=-5/8

\frac{1 - 3 x}{4 x - 2} = - \frac{5}{8}

x = - \frac{1}{2}

Solution steps

\frac{1 - 3 x}{4 x - 2} = - \frac{5}{8}

Cross multiply

8 - 24 x = - 20 x + 10

Move

8

to the right side

- 24 x = - 20 x + 2

Move

20 x

to the left side

- 4 x = 2

Divide both sides by

- 4

x = - \frac{1}{2}

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = \frac{1}{2}

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = - \frac{1}{2}

\frac{8}{2 x + 12} = \frac{6}{x + 8}

\frac{1}{x} + \frac{8}{x - 4} = 0

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

N, 5 d + g = \frac{b}{N}

k + \frac{12}{k} = 8
