D. 16

Cross multiply, to cancel the denominator; so if you multiple by 6 on one side, to cancel the division of 6 - you must also multiply the other side by 6 & vice versa.

You get:

8(x-4) = 6x

Expand bracket to get:

8x - 32

Now solve for x :

8x - 32 = 6x

- 8x

- 32. = - 2x

÷ - 2

16 = x

Or

8x - 32 = 6x

+ 32

8x. = 6x + 32

- 6x

2x. = 32

÷2

x =16

Check:

16 - 4 = 12, then ÷ 6 is 2

16/8 = 2

Hope this helps!
