Answer:

x = -(8 - 3 y)/y

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

y = 8/(3 - x)

y = 8/(3 - x) is equivalent to 8/(3 - x) = y:

8/(3 - x) = y

Take the reciprocal of both sides:

(3 - x)/8 = 1/y

Multiply both sides by 8:

3 - x = 8/y

Subtract 3 from both sides:

-x = (8 - 3 y)/y

Multiply both sides by -1:

Answer: x = -(8 - 3 y)/y

[tex]\huge\boxed{x=3-\frac{8}{y}}[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{8}{3-x}[/tex]

Multiply both sides of the equation by [tex](3-x)[/tex]. [tex]y(3-x)=8[/tex]

Divide both sides by [tex]y[/tex]. [tex]3-x=\frac{8}{y}[/tex]

Subtract [tex]3[/tex] from both sides. [tex]-x=\frac{8}{y}-3[/tex]

Multiply both sides by [tex]-1[/tex], making everything opposite. [tex]\boxed{x=3-\frac{8}{y}}[/tex]
