Answer:

x=8

Explanation:

(x+4) = (x+8)

------ -------

3 4

Multiply each side by 12 to get rid of the fraction

(x+4) = (x+8)

12 *------ ------- *12

3 4

4*(x+4) = (x+8)*3

Distribute

​4x+16 = 3x+24

Subtract 3x from each side

4x-3x+16 = 3x-3x+24

x+16 = 24

Subtract 16 from each side

x+16-16 = 24-16

x = 8
