3/(x-4)=(0.2)/(-8)

\frac{3}{x - 4} = \frac{0.2}{- 8}

x = - 116

Solution steps

\frac{3}{x - 4} = \frac{0.2}{- 8}

Cross multiply

- 24 = (x - 4) \cdot 0.2

Switch sides

(x - 4) \cdot 0.2 = - 24

Divide both sides by

0.2

x - 4 = - 120

Move

4

to the right side

x = - 116

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = 4

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = - 116

1 = \frac{2}{3} - \frac{x - 7}{x}

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

x = \frac{- 20 x}{12 - 150 x}

1 - \frac{64}{x ^{3}} = 0

\frac{84}{49} = \frac{576}{x}
