Answer:
x=10.5
Step-by-step explanation:
first cross multiply
that will be
5*2=4(x-8)
10=4(x-8) (since you are looking for x divide both sides by 4)
10/4=x-8 (using a calculator 10/4 =2.5)
2.5=x-8
x=2.5+8
hope this helped
[tex]\frac{x-8}{5} =\frac{2}{4} \\\frac{4(x-8)}{20}=\frac{10}{20}\\\frac{4x-32}{20}=\frac{10}{20}\\4x-32=10\\4x=42\\x=\frac{42}{4}\\x=10.5[/tex]Hope it helps, pls make me brainliest
