Answer: x = 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step to solve this equation would be to simplify both sides of the equation by multiplying

1/4*12 - 1/4*8x = 2/3*6x

3 - 2x = 2x

3= 2x+2x

3=4x

x=3/4

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

AS THERE ARE 2 fractions 1/4 and 2/3, one way would be to first get rid of these by multiplying through by the LCM  12, giving:

12*1/4(12 – 8x) = 12*2/3(6x)

3(12 - 8x) = 8(6x)

36 - 24x = 48x

36 = 72x

x = 1/2.
