Translate and solve the following statement.
The quotient of 2x and 4 is the same as the product of 6 and 3
-------------------------------------------------------

"The quotient of 2x and 4 is the same as the product of 6 and 3" translates to %282x%29%2F4+=+6%2A3

Solve for x

%282x%29%2F4+=+6%2A3

2x+=+4%2A6%2A3

2x+=+72

x+=+72%2F2

x+=+36
