You cross multiply, the solve for $x$

Assuming you have to solve for $x$ ,
You would do $2x$ + 4 ⋅ 6 and $x$ +4 ⋅ 5, then make them equal each other

So,
$12x$ + 24 = $5x$ + 20

Then put all the variables on one side and numbers on the other.
$12x$ - $5x$ = 20 - 24

$7x$ = -4

Then solve for $x$ ,
$x$ = $-4/7$

How do you solve \frac { 2x + 4} { 5} = \frac { x + 4} { 6 }\frac { 2x + 4} { 5} = \frac { x + 4} { 6 }?
