5x-4/5x+4=2/3
solution:
5x-4/5x+4=2/3
by cross multiplication
3(5x-4)=2(5x+4)
3*5x-3*4 =2*5x+2*4
15x-12 =10x +8
club the like terms together
15x-10x =8+12
5x=20
x=20/5
x=4

%285x-4%29%2F%285x%2B4%29=2%2F3
3%285x-4%29=2%285x%2B4%29
15x-12=10x%2B8
..
add -10x+12 to both sides so that 12 and 10x
..
15x-10x+12-12=10x+8-10x+12
5x=20
doivide by 5
x= 20/5
x=4
