Question
$$8+\frac{24}{12}\cdot4 = 0$$
Answer
This equation has no solution.
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} 8+\frac{24}{12}\cdot4 &= 0&& \text{multiply ALL terms by } \color{blue}{ 12 }. \\[1 em]12\cdot8+12 \cdot \frac{24}{12}\cdot4 &= 12\cdot0&& \text{cancel out the denominators} \\[1 em]96+96 &= 0&& \text{simplify left side} \\[1 em]192 &= 0&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
Since the statement $ \color{red}{ 192 = 0 } $ is FALSE, we conclude that the equation has no solution.
