\longrightarrow{\green{x\:=\:6}}


\large\mathfrak{{\pmb{\underline{\red{Step-by-step\:explanation}}{\red{:}}}}}


\:(3x + 2)/(4) = (x + 4)/(2)


\: 2(3x + 2) = 4(x + 4)


\: 6x + 4 = 4x + 16


\: 6x - 4x = 16 - 4


\:2x = 12


\: x = (12)/(2)


\: x = 6

Therefore, the value of
x is 6.


\large\mathfrak{{\pmb{\underline{\blue{To\:verify}}{\blue{:}}}}}


\: (3x + 2)/(4) = (x + 4)/(2)


\:(3 * 6 + 2)/(4) = (6 + 4)/(2)


\:(18 + 2)/(4) = (10)/(2)


\:(20)/(4) = 5


\: 5 = 5


\: L.H.S.=R. H. S

Hence verified.
