For this problem, you will use the least common denominator to be able to solve for x.
00:06
To start, you notice that there is one x on the left side of the equation, while there's two xes on the right side.
00:15
So you will want to multiply the 4 over x times 2, so you can get the same denominator.
00:22
This will equal 8 over 2x minus 2, equalling to 5 over 2.
00:39
2x.
00:41
Since the xes are both in the denominator, you know the x cannot equal 0.
00:53
The next step will be to add 2 to both sides.
01:00
On the left side they will cross out because they equal to 0 and then add it to the right.
01:09
This will equal 8 over 2x, equaling 2, 5 over 2x plus 2.
01:29
Now that both of the denominators are the same, you are able to combine the like terms.
01:35
To do this, you will subtract 5 over 2x on both sides...
