Question 321415: The answer is 3... but the question is (8/x-2)-(13/2)= (3/2x-4)
the (/) is a fraction, best I could put it. example.. 8 over x-2 then - 13 over 2= 3 over 2x-4...
can you help me work the problem I already know the answer i just need help going thur how I got it.
Thanks so much

(8/x-2)-(13/2)= (3/2x-4)
8/(x-2)-13/2=3/(2x-4)
8/(x-2)-3/2(x-2)=6.5
(8*2-3)/2(x-2)=6.5
(16-3)/2(x-2)=6.5
13=6.5*2(x-2)
13=13x-26
13x=13+26
13x=39
x=39/13
x=3 ans.
