Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(3x - 4)/8 = (x + 2)/3 Cross multiply
8(x +2) = 3(3x - 4) Remove the brackets using the distributive property
16x + 16 = 9x - 12 Subtract 16 from both sides
16x = 9x - 12 - 16 Combine
16x = 9x - 28 Subtract 9x from both sides
16x - 9x = - 28 Combine
7x = - 28 Divide by 7
x = - 4
