x\times 12000=\left(x+8\right)\times 8000
Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values -8,0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x\left(x+8\right), the least common multiple of 8+x,x.
x\times 12000=8000x+64000
Use the distributive property to multiply x+8 by 8000.
x\times 12000-8000x=64000
Subtract 8000x from both sides.
4000x=64000
Combine x\times 12000 and -8000x to get 4000x.
x=\frac{64000}{4000}
Divide both sides by 4000.
x=16
Divide 64000 by 4000 to get 16.
