Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. First, multiply 12 and x to both sides of the equation:
(3/12)(12)(x) = (2/x)(12)(x)
3 * x = 2 * 12
3x = 24
Isolate the variable, x. Divide 3 from both sides of the equation:
(3x)/3 = (24)/3
x = 24/3
x = 8
x = 8 is your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:
the answer to this question is 2/8, x is 8
in order to do this proportion, you have to
1.Cross multiply:
3 * x = 12 * 2
2.
Simplifying
3 * x = 12 * 2
3.
Multiply 12 * 2
3x = 24
4.
Solving
3x = 24
5.
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
6.
Divide each side by '3'.
x = 8
7.
Simplifying
x = 8
meaning that 3/12 = 2/8
