To solve this equation, we first want to get rid of the denominators by multiplying both sides of the equation by the least common multiple of the denominators.
The least common multiple of x and x is x, so:
2(x) + 8 = 4
Now, we can solve for x:
2x + 8 = 4 2x = 4 - 8 2x = -4 x = -4/2 x = -2
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -2.
