$x = 2$ $x=2$

Cross multiply so you have

$8 x = 2 x + 12$ $8x=2x+12$

The next step is to subtract $2 x$ $2x$ from both sides in order to isolate all the $x$ $x$ 's on one side of the equation, so you now have

$6 x = 12$ $6x=12$

Divide the $6$ $6$ out from both sides so you're just left with

$x = 2$ $x=2$
