You could solve this using a proportion or just by common sense.
Proportion: 8/12 = x/126
Cross multiply: 12x = 1008
1008/12 = 84
Or the common sense route is just dividing 12 by 8 then multiplying the answer by 126. Either way, you get the same answer. Hope this helps! :)

Answer:
x = 8/9
Step-by-step explanation:
6(3x - 4) = -8
Distribute the 6
18x -24 = -8
Add 24 to each side
18x -24+24 = -8+24
18x = 16
Divide each side by 18
18x/18 =16/18
Simplify the fraction by dividing top and bottom by 2
x = 8/9
