Question
![**Solve the proportion equation, solving for x:**
\[ \frac{10}{x + 8} = \frac{6}{3} \]
**Options:**
- ○ 2
- ○ -2
- ○ 3
- ○ -3
To solve this equation, cross-multiply and solve for \( x \):
1. Multiply 10 by 3, and 6 by \( x + 8 \).
2. This results in \( 10 \times 3 = 6 \times (x + 8) \).
3. Simplify and solve for \( x \).
