Answer:

Explanation:

(3x - 4)/8 = (x + 2)/3 Cross multiply

8(x +2) = 3(3x - 4) Remove the brackets using the distributive property

16x + 16 = 9x - 12 Subtract 16 from both sides

16x = 9x - 12 - 16 Combine

16x = 9x - 28 Subtract 9x from both sides

16x - 9x = - 28 Combine

7x = - 28 Divide by 7

x = - 4
