Answer:
x=7/4
Step-by-step explanation:
You want to start by simplifying the expression so that there is a common denominator on the right side:
[tex]= \frac{x-2}{4} = \frac{y}{8}[/tex]
Then you can cross multiply
[tex]=8(x-2)=4y[/tex]
Then you can just simplify your way to an easier equation
[tex]= 8x-16=4y[/tex]
[tex]= \frac{8x-16}{4} =y[/tex]
[tex]= 2x-4=y[/tex]
[tex]=2x = -\frac{1}{2} + \frac{8}{2} \\= x = \frac{7}{2} -\frac{1}{2} \\= x = \frac{7}{4} \\[/tex]
Hope that helps!!!
