You can put this solution on YOUR website!
8x/(x+1)=4-8/(x+1)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Multiply through by x+1 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "8x=4(x+1)-8
\n" ); document.write( "8x=4x+4-8
\n" ); document.write( "4x=-4
\n" ); document.write( "x=-1
\n" ); document.write( "But x cannot be -1 as that would make the denominators zero.
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore: there is no solution.
