x on both sides of proportion: (4x + 8)/6 = (7x - 3)/4

(4x + 8) (7x-3)
________ = _________
6 4


What I've tried is working up by one number at a time, like trying x as 1, x as 2, and onward to 9, eg.

4x1 = 4
4 + 8 12
12/6 = 2

7x1 = 7
7-3 = 4
4/4 = 1

Anyone have a better hint for me?

This is the way I would present the total solution for a homework assignment:
