(-10)/x =(-16)/(x-3)

\frac{- 10}{x} = \frac{- 16}{x - 3}

x = - 5

Solution steps

\frac{- 10}{x} = \frac{- 16}{x - 3}

Cross multiply

- 10 x + 30 = - x \cdot 16

Move

30

to the right side

- 10 x = - x \cdot 16 - 30

Move

x 16

to the left side

6 x = - 30

Divide both sides by

6

x = - 5

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = 0, x = 3

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = - 5

\frac{240}{x} = \frac{160}{x - 20}

\frac{x}{( x + 4 )} = 0

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

18 x^{- 2} = 2

- \frac{7}{x} = - \frac{5}{x + 4}
