The first equation factors to (3x + 2)(3x + 4) The second equation factors to (3a + 2b)(3a + 4b)
Subtract 8 from each side: 3a = 33 Divide each side by 3: a = 11
a-16 = a/4+2 Multiply all terms by 4: 4a-64 = a+8 4a-a = 8+64 3a = 72 a = 24
It is: 2x+4 = 8 and the value of x is 2
Without an equality sign the expession given is not an equation. But if you mean 8 = 42x then the value od x is 8/42
