Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
First, multiply all four terms by 10 to eliminate the fractions:
4x - 8(x-4) = 13x - 19
Next, carry out the indicated multiplication, obtaining:
4x - 8x + 32 = 13x - 19
Combining the x terms, we get:
-4x + 32 = 13x - 19, or
32 = 17x - 19
Combining the constants, we get 51 = 17x, and so x = 51/17 = 3.
