x/4 =(-1)/(x+5)

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

x = - 1, x = - 4

Solution steps

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

Cross multiply

x (x + 5) = - 4

Solve

x (x + 5) = - 4 : x = - 1, x = - 4

x = - 1, x = - 4

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = - 5

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = - 1, x = - 4

\frac{x + 2}{x - 2} = 0

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

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

\frac{4}{0.7071 x} = 10

\frac{x}{x + 4} + \frac{7}{x - 2} = 1
