Answer:
x = -4/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Distribute
3(5x + 8) = 4(6x + 9)
15x + 24 = 24x + 36
Step 2: Subtract 15x from both sides
15x + 24 - 15x = 24x + 36 - 15x
24 = 9x + 36
Step 3: Subtract 36 from both sides
24 - 36 = 9x + 36 - 36
-12 = 9x
Step 4: Divide both sides by 9
-12 / 9 = 9x / 9
-4/3 = x
Answer: x = -4/3
