Step 2.3.1.2.1

Factor $4$ out of $8$ .

$x = \frac{4 \cdot 3}{4 \cdot 2}$

Step 2.3.1.2.2

Cancel the common factor.

$x = \frac{4 \cdot 3}{4 \cdot 2}$

Step 2.3.1.2.3

Rewrite the expression.

$x = \frac{3}{2}$

$x = \frac{3}{2}$

$x = \frac{3}{2}$

$x = \frac{3}{2}$

$x = \frac{3}{2}$

Step 3

The result can be shown in multiple forms.
