If I remember algebra correctly,
1. Multiply both sides by x (x-8x+7x=8-8x)
2. Combine like terms (0=8-8x)
3. Get the variable by itself (add 8x to both sides, 8x=8)
4. Divide both sides by 8 (x=1)

You have to multiply each side by (x-8). That gives you x+7=8. Can you solve that??

x/x-8 +7x-fifty six/x-8 = 8/x-8 -- I actually have prolonged 7/a million(x-8/x-8) x + 7x -fifty six -8/x-8 = 0 -- we've worry-free denominators now 8x-sixty 4/x-8 = 0 there is not any such element as a nil demoninator that permits you to effectively say that X won't be able to equivalent 8
