Answer: x=3

Step-by-step explanation: This is a porportion, meaning that the numbers are set equal to each other. Look at your denominators, 4 and 8? What do they have in common? In this case, they have a factor of 2 in common, and 8 is 4x2. So then we look at the numerators now. What times 2 equals to 6? Your answer then becomes 3.
