The solution for this equation is x = -36
3/4 ( x + 8 ) = 1/2 ( x - 6)
(Opening the brackets)
(3x + 24)/4 = ( x - 6)/ 2
By cross multiplication,
2(3x + 24) = 4( x - 6 )
6x + 48 = 4x - 24
(Taking the Variable to one side)
6x - 4x = - 24 - 48
2x = - 72
x= - 72/2
x = -36
Hence, the solution for this equation is x = -36
