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

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

x = \frac{136}{15}

Decimal Notation

x = 9.06666 \dots

Solution steps

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

Multiply both sides by

x - 8

16 (x - 8) = x + 8

Expand

16 (x - 8) : 16 x - 128

16 x - 128 = x + 8

Move

128

to the right side

16 x = x + 136

Move

x

to the left side

15 x = 136

Divide both sides by

15

x = \frac{136}{15}

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = 8

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = \frac{136}{15}

x + 16 = \frac{1}{x - 8}

0.73 = \frac{100000 - x}{x}

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

\frac{4}{7} = \frac{12}{x}

\frac{3 x + 4}{x - 2} = \frac{5}{6}
