1/3 (12+X) = - 8 (6+X)

Find x

If you would like to solve the equation 1/3 * (12 + X) = - 8 * (6 + X) for X, you can calculate this using the following steps:

1/3 * (12 + X) = - 8 * (6 + X)

1/3 * 12 + 1/3 * X = - 8 * 6 - 8 * X

4 + 1/3 * X = - 48 - 8 * X

1/3 * X + 8 * X = - 48 - 4

8 1/3 * X = - 52

25/3 * X = - 52 / * 3/25

X = - 52 * 3 / 25

X = - 156/25

X = - 6 6/25

The correct result would be - 6 6/25.
