Question 622824
{{{16/(2-x)=4/x}}}
A single fraction on each side of the equal side, we can use the "cross multiply" method
16x = 4(2-x)
16x = 8 - 4x
16x + 4x = 8
20x = 8
x = 8/20
x = .4

Check this in the original problem, replace x with .4
{{{16/(2-.4)=4/.4}}}
{{{16/(1.6)=4/.4}}}
10 = 10; confirms our solution of x=.4
