I'm not sure how you should do it, if this isn't how it is suppose to look like then let me know.

Because the denominators are the same(4x), you can add the 2 fractions together:



Now you can cross multiply, which is just multiplying 2x on both sides, and multiplying 4x on both sides


2x(12 + x) = 3(4x) Multiply 2x into (12 + x), and multiply 3 into (4x)
24x + 2x² = 12x Subtract 12x on both sides
12x + 2x² = 0 Factor out 2x
2x (6 + x) = 0
2x = 0 Divide 2 on both sides
x = 0
6 + x = 0 Subtract 6 on both sides
x = -6
Or:

Subtract 3/2x on both sides
Make the denominators the same

Multiply 4x on both sides
6 + x = 0 Subtract 6 on both sides
x = -6
