(x-12)/(x-4)= 3/5

\frac{x - 12}{x - 4} = \frac{3}{5}

x = 24

Solution steps

\frac{x - 12}{x - 4} = \frac{3}{5}

Cross multiply

5 x - 60 = 3 x - 12

Move

60

to the right side

5 x = 3 x + 48

Move

3 x

to the left side

2 x = 48

Divide both sides by

2

x = 24

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = 4

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = 24

x + \frac{1}{x} = 1

\frac{y}{2 y + 1} = \frac{2}{5}

1 - \frac{2}{x} = - 6 x

\frac{5}{x ^{2} + x - 6} = 2 + \frac{x - 3}{x - 2}

x + \frac{9 x}{x - 8} = \frac{72}{x - 8}
