Question 629360
{{{(1-4x)/(1-2x)=9/8}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{8(1-4x)=9(1-2x)}}} Cross multiply.



{{{8-32x=9-18x}}} Distribute.



{{{-32x=9-18x-8}}} Subtract {{{8}}} from both sides.



{{{-32x+18x=9-8}}} Add {{{18x}}} to both sides.



{{{-14x=9-8}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-14x=1}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(1)/(-14)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-14}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-1/14}}} Reduce.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=-1/14}}}
