To solve this problem you multiply each side of the equation by color(red)(6)6. See full explanation below.

Explanation:

Multiply each side of the equation by color(red)(6)6 to solve for xx while keeping the equation balanced:

x/6 xx color(red)(6) = 8 xx color(red)(6)x6×6=8×6

x/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(6))) xx cancel(color(red)(6)) = 48

x = 48
