The solution

You have entered [src]
x + 8      
----- = 7/3
x + 2      
$$\frac{x + 8}{x + 2} = \frac{7}{3}$$
Detail solution
Given the equation:
$$\frac{x + 8}{x + 2} = \frac{7}{3}$$
Multiply the equation sides by the denominator 2 + x
we get:
$$x + 8 = \frac{7 x}{3} + \frac{14}{3}$$
Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$x = \frac{7 x}{3} - \frac{10}{3}$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$\frac{\left(-4\right) x}{3} = - \frac{10}{3}$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -4/3
x = -10/3 / (-4/3)

We get the answer: x = 5/2
