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

\frac{x}{x + 2} = \frac{x - 2}{x - 4}

x = 1

Solution steps

\frac{x}{x + 2} = \frac{x - 2}{x - 4}

Cross multiply

x^{2} - 4 x = x^{2} - 4

Move

x^{2}

to the left side

- 4 x = - 4

Divide both sides by

- 4

x = 1

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = - 2, x = 4

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = 1

n, K = \frac{a}{b ( c + n )}

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

\frac{2 x}{x + 4} = \frac{3}{x - 1}

y, x = \frac{y - 2}{y + 3}

x^{3} - \frac{4}{x} = 6
