8/(x-3)= 6/15

\frac{8}{x - 3} = \frac{6}{15}

x = 23

Solution steps

\frac{8}{x - 3} = \frac{6}{15}

Cross multiply

120 = (x - 3) \cdot 6

Switch sides

(x - 3) \cdot 6 = 120

Divide both sides by

6

x - 3 = 20

Move

3

to the right side

x = 23

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = 3

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = 23

y, x = \frac{km}{y - p}

\frac{3}{x - 2} = \frac{8}{x + 6}

\frac{x}{x + 1} - 2 = \frac{6}{x - 5}

- \frac{3 x}{x - 5} - 4 = - \frac{1}{x - 5}

\frac{2 x - 10}{3 x - 20} = \frac{7}{8}
