Question: 2/3 = 8/x+6 what is x?
Answer: 6

Answer 2

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
