Please help will give brainliest number 8.

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Were trying to solve for x so we would say 3 1/2 - 2 1/2 and we would be left with 1. So x=1, which you then substitute into the problem to make sure it's correct so 2 1/2 + 1 = 3 1/2.

Hope this helped

-8/2y-8=5/y+4-7y+8/y^2-16

we move all terms to the left:

-8/2y-8-(5/y+4-7y+8/y^2-16)=0

we can not solve this equation
