I think it should be 5(x+6) over 6(x-8).
Doing the same problem haha.

we have


((x+6)/12)/((x-8)/10)

Remember that

The division is the inverse of the multiplication

so


((x+6)/12)/((x-8)/10)=(x+6)/(12) *(10)/(x-8)

Simplify


(x+6)/(12) *(10)/(x-8)=(5(x+6))/(6(x-8))

therefore

the answer is


(5(x+6))/(6(x-8))
