Solve the following equations.

Given:

We first put x = 0 in the expression and obtain:

⇒ -20/-5 = 12/3

⇒ 4=4 which holds true.

∴ x=0 is a solution.

Now, Consider ……………… (1)

Multiply both sides by �:

……………….(2)

Apply dividendo:

Cross multiply and get:

12x – 20 = 8x + 12

⇒ 12x – 8x = 12+ 20

⇒ 4x = 32

⇒ x = 8

∴ x=0, 8 are the solutions.
