The other answers are correct, but they do not say how to get the answer.

If 8x is 2/3 of x then you just have to invert the fraction to find x. X = 3/2 of 8. This is 12.

To determine the answer, acknowledge that you have asked.

8 / x = 2/3

You can solve this equation algebraically.

x / 8 = 3/2

x = 2/2

x = 12

Will be 12 :)

Because everyone says 12 becomes 12.
