%283%2F2%29%28x%2B8%29=6x
%283%2F2%29x%2B24%2F2=6x
%283%2F2%29x%2B12=6x
-%283%2F2%29x%2B%283%2F2%29x%2B12=6x-%283%2F2%29x
12=6x-%283%2F2%29x If you hate adding fractions you can avoid that by multiplying everything by 2:
2%2812%29=2%286x%29-2%283%2F2%29x
24=12x-3x
24=9x
24%2F9=9x%2F9
8%2F3=x
highlight%28x=8%2F3%29
Happy Calculating!!!
