Answer : The value of 'x' is, 6

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given the expression or equation in verbal sentence. So, first we have to convert it into equation.

2 over 3 equals 8 over quantity x plus 6

The equation will be:


(2)/(3)=(8)/(x+6)

Now solve the equation, we get the value of 'x'.


(2)/(3)=(8)/(x+6)

Cross multiplying the equation, we get:


2* (x+6)=8* 3


2x+12=24


2x=24-12


2x=12


x=(12)/(2)


x=6

Thus, the value of 'x' is, 6
