Solve for x: 2 over 3 equals 8 over quantity x plus 6

x = 40/3

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3 = (8/x) + 6

-6                -6

2/3 - 6 = -16/3

-16/3 = 8/x

*x          *x

(-16/3)x = 8

+16/3     +16/3

x = 40/3

x= 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation  :

To solve the above equation, first we multiply 3(x+6) on both sides , then we get

Using distribution property :

we get

Subtract 12 from both sides , we get

Divide both sides by 2 , we get

Hence, the value of x= 6 .

d. millimeters per hour.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given that,

carlo used a rain gauge to measure the amount of water his lawn is receiving from the sprinklers.

since, according to the options, we see that,

water cannot be measured by 'miles per hour', 'meters per second' and 'grams per seconds'.

we get that, the water can be measured by 'millimeters per hour'.

hence, the appropriate rate for describing the amount of water is 'millimeters per hour'.
