Question 180817
{{{3/x + 8 = 2 }}} Start with the given equation.



{{{3/x = -6}}} Subtract 8 from both sides.



{{{3 = -6x}}} Multiply both sides by x.



{{{3/(-6) = x}}} Divide both sides by -6 to isolate "x".



{{{-1/2= x}}} Reduce



------------------------

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=-1/2}}}
