(x+2)/(3x+8)= 3/8

\frac{x + 2}{3 x + 8} = \frac{3}{8}

x = - 8

Solution steps

\frac{x + 2}{3 x + 8} = \frac{3}{8}

Cross multiply

8 x + 16 = 9 x + 24

Move

16

to the right side

8 x = 9 x + 8

Move

9 x

to the left side

- x = 8

Divide both sides by

- 1

x = - 8

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = - \frac{8}{3}

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = - 8

\frac{1}{x ^{2}} - 16 = 0

0.1 = \frac{1716 - x}{x}

\frac{4}{3} - \frac{5}{3 x} = 3

\frac{1}{8 x + 56} = 4 x + 140

\frac{5}{3 v - 2} = \frac{7}{4 v}
