Ok, let's solve this equation step by step.
First, let's get rid of the fraction by cross-multiplying:
(3x + 8) = (x - 4)(2x + 1)
Now, let's expand the right side of the equation:
3x + 8 = 2x^2 + x - 8
Rearrange the terms to set the equation equal to zero:
2x^2 - 2x - 16 = 0
Now, let's solve for x by factoring:
2x^2 - 2x - 16 = 02(x^2 - x - 8) = 02(x - 4)(x + 2) = 0
This gives us two possible solutions:
x = 4x = -2
Therefore, the solutions to the equation (3x+8)/(2x+1) = x-4 are x = 4 and x = -2.
