x-2 / x-4 = x+4/x-2
(x - 2)² = (x+4) (x-4)
x² + 4 - 4x = x² - 4x + 4x - 16
x² + 4 - 4x = x² - 16
x² + 4 - 4x - x² + 16 = 0
20 - 4x = 0
4x = 20
x = 5
(x - 2)² = (x+4) (x-4)
x² + 4 - 4x = x² - 4x + 4x - 16
x² + 4 - 4x = x² - 16
x² + 4 - 4x - x² + 16 = 0
20 - 4x = 0
4x = 20
x = 5

x-2/x-4=x+4/x-2
cross multiply
=(x-2)^2=(x-4)^2
=x^2-4=x^2-16
=4x=20
=x=20/4
x=5
hope this helps☺️
