Answer:

x = 7

Explanation:

We can use ratios to solve

3x-6 10

---------- = -------------------

12+(3x-6) 10+8

Simplifying

3x-6 10

---------- = -------------------

(3x+6) 18

Using cross products

18(3x-6) = 10(3x+6)

Distribute

54x - 108 = 30x +60

Subtract 30x from each side

54x-30x -108 = 60

24x -108 = 60

Add 108 to each side

24x = 60+108

24x = 168

Divide each side by 24

24x/24 = 168/24

x =7
