(x-2)/(x+4)= 4/6

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

x = 14

Solution steps

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

Cross multiply

6 x - 12 = 4 x + 16

Move

12

to the right side

6 x = 4 x + 28

Move

4 x

to the left side

2 x = 28

Divide both sides by

2

x = 14

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = - 4

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = 14

m = \frac{1}{4} \frac{mm}{( m + m )}

\frac{25}{1000} = \frac{6}{x}

\frac{2}{x + 11} = \frac{8}{x - 9}

y, x = \frac{3 y - 1}{4 y + 5}

x, 12 = \frac{40}{3.3 + x}
