-4/(x+4)=-3/(x+6)

-4(x+6)=-3(x+4)

-4x-24=-3x-12

I'll let you finish up. Let me know if you still need help. Thanks.

-4/[x+4]=-3/[x+6] first equatin dem to zero by taking -3/[x+6] to the RHS. -4 /[x+4] + 3/[x+6] = 0 *then the lcm of the both is [x+4][x+6] then it becomes { -4[x+6] + 3[x+4] }/ [x+4][x+6] = 0 *then cross mutiply -4x-24+3x+12=0.therefore -x-12=0 then x= -12
