Answer:
x=6

Solution:
X/(2x+4) = 3/8

1) Cross -multiply
X * (8) = 3 * (2x+4)
8x = 6x + 12

2) Subtract 6x from both sides
8x - 6x = 6x + 12 - 6x
2x = 12
12/2 = 6

X= 6

Answer:

x = 6

Explanation:

Step 1: Cross multiply.


(x)/(2x+4) = (3)/(8) \\x*(8)=3*(2x+4)\\8x=6x+12

Step 2: Subtract 6x from both sides.


8x-6x=6x+12-6x\\2x=12

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.


(2x)/(2) =(12)/(2)
