Algebraic fractions

How would I do this?

[inner eagle]

if a:b=c:d then a/b=c/d

therefore 2x-1/x-4=16x+1/2x-1

and then cross multiply so (2x-1)^2=(16x+1)(x-4)

so 4x^2-4x+1=16x^2-63x-4
12x^2-59x-5=0

that looks nasty

maybe i did something wrong 1 sec

ye its 16x+1 not 16x+4 lol

Ahh okay tysm

x=-1/12 or 5

also, whenever you have variables in denominators make sure none of your answers make the denominator 0, if they do you just omit that solution

but that didnt happen here so youre allg

Oh okay thanks
