Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equation $\frac{-8}{x+8}=\frac{x}{x+8}$ simplifies to $-8 = x$ when both sides are multiplied by $x + 8$, assuming $x \neq -8$ to avoid division by zero. However, substituting $-8$ back into the original equation leads to a division by zero, indicating there is no solution that satisfies the equation within the real number system.
