The equation that we have been given is:
=
In order to solve for the value of 'x', we'll have to use cross-multiplication.
Cross-multiplication is a method in which the numerator of one fraction is multiplied by the denominator of another fraction that it is equal to.
Let's cross-mutliply the numerators and denominators:
=
9*(x+2) = 4*(3x)
Distribute the numbers into the parentheses.
9x + 18 = 12x
Simplify by subtracting both sides by 9x:
9x - 9x + 18 = 12x - 9x
0 + 18 = 3x
18 = 3x
3x = 18
Divide both sides by 3:
=
<u>x = 6</u>
