A particle moves along the curve y=3(x+6)x+4y = \frac{3(x+6)}{x+4}, where x≠−4x \ne -4, in such a way that the yy-coordinate of the particle is increasing at a constant rate of 427\frac{4}{27} units per second. Find the xx-coordinates of the particle at the instant that the xx-coordinate of the particle is decreasing at a rate of 2 units per second.
