Answer:

well if the x is in the fraction the answer is

x=5

if it is not and it's after the fraction

x=1/5

Explanation:

for x=5 for x=1/5

Apply;fraction:cross:multiply: 8/12=10/3 x then switch sides

8*3x =12*10 10/3 x = 8/12 cancel the common factor:4

simplify: 10/3 x = 2/3

24x=120 multiply both sides by 3

divide both sides by 24 3*10/3 x = 2*3/3

24x/24=120/24 simplify: 10x =2

simplified =5 divide both sides by 10: 10x/10=10/2

x=5 simplified = 1/5

x=1/5

Please let me know if this helps. and give me a thanks or something if it did <33
