8/(2x+12)= 6/(x+8)

\frac{8}{2 x + 12} = \frac{6}{x + 8}

x = - 2

Solution steps

\frac{8}{2 x + 12} = \frac{6}{x + 8}

Cross multiply

4 x + 32 = 6 x + 36

Move

32

to the right side

4 x = 6 x + 4

Move

6 x

to the left side

- 2 x = 4

Divide both sides by

- 2

x = - 2

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = - 6, x = - 8

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = - 2

\frac{1}{x} + \frac{8}{x - 4} = 0

\frac{4}{x} = \frac{8}{5 x} + 4

N, 5 d + g = \frac{b}{N}

k + \frac{12}{k} = 8

\frac{- 15}{4 x + 1} = x - 4
