Question: 2/3 = 8/x+6 what is x?
Answer: 6

Answer 2

Answer : The value of 'x' is, 6

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given the expression or equation in verbal sentence. So, first we have to convert it into equation.

2 over 3 equals 8 over quantity x plus 6

The equation will be:

$\frac{2}{3}=\frac{8}{x+6}$

Now solve the equation, we get the value of 'x'.

$\frac{2}{3}=\frac{8}{x+6}$

Cross multiplying the equation, we get:

$2\times (x+6)=8\times 3$

$2x+12=24$

$2x=24-12$

$2x=12$

$x=\frac{12}{2}$

$x=6$

Thus, the value of 'x' is, 6
