You can put this solution on YOUR website!
$\"3%2F8=6%2Fx\"$ so $\"3x=6%2A8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x=+48\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=16\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "However, the easy way to do this particular problem is to notice that if you start with \"3 over 8 equal to 6 over what\", the 6 is double the 3, so you have to double the 8 to get 16.\r
