Answer:

x =19

Explanation:

$(x+2)/(6)=(2x-10)/(8) \\\\Cross\:Multiply\\\\8x+16=12x-60\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}16\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\8x+16-16=12x-60-16\\\\Simplify\\8x=12x-76\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}12x\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\8x-12x=12x-76-12x\\\\Simplify\\-4x=-76\\\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}-4\\(-4x)/(-4)=(-76)/(-4)\\\\Simplify\\\\x =19$
