Answer:


x=0

Explanation:

We can solve this equation using cross multiplication (multiply the numerator of one fraction by the denominator of the other and vice versa):


(x)/(6)=(3x)/(4)


x*4=3x*6


4x=18x

There is only one possible solution for x in which any number multiplied by x is equivalent...


x=0 (Any number multiplied by 0 is 0)

OR (algebraic way)


4x=18x\\\text{Subtract 4x from both sides}\\0=18x-4x\\0=14x\\\text{Divide both sides by 14}\\x=0
