3x=2\left(x+8\right)
Variable x cannot be equal to -8 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 3\left(x+8\right), the least common multiple of x+8,3.
3x=2x+16
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x+8.
3x-2x=16
Subtract 2x from both sides.
x=16
Combine 3x and -2x to get x.
