Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\frac{5x-2}{6}=\frac{x+8}{4} < == cross\ multiply\\\\4(5x-2)=6(x+8) < ==distribute\\\\4(5x)+4(-2)=6(x)+6(8)\\\\20x-8=6x+48 < ==subtract\ 6x\ from\ both\ sides\\-6x\ \ \ \ -6x\\\\14x-8=48 < == add\ 8\ to\both\ sides\\\ \ \ +8 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ +8\\\\14x=56 < ==divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 14\\/14 \ \ \ /14\\\\x=4 < ==final\ answer[/tex]
Check your answer:
[tex]\frac{5x-2}{6}=\frac{x+8}{4}\\\\\frac{5(4)-2}{6}=\frac{4+8}{4}\\\\\frac{20-2}{6}=\frac{12}{4}\\\\\frac{18}{6}=\frac{12}{4}\\\\3=3[/tex]
This statement is correct
Hope this helps!
