Just do the rules of PEMDAS.
How Do I Solve 4-(x)/(x-2)=(-2)/(x-2)?
4-(x)/(x-2)=(-2)/(x-2)
Get rid of what's in common first, by multiplying both sides by (x-2). You're left with:
4-(x)=(-2)
4-(x)-4=(-2)-4
-x=-6
x=6
Get rid of what's in common first, by multiplying both sides by (x-2). You're left with:
4-(x)=(-2)
4-(x)-4=(-2)-4
-x=-6
x=6
4(x -2)- x/x-2(x-2) = -2/x-2(x-2)
4x -8-x = -2
4x-x = 6
3x = 6
x = 2
4x -8-x = -2
4x-x = 6
3x = 6
x = 2
The equation is in a fractional format or ratio and proportion; in which case, just do cross-multiplication...
