One day, I decide to run to the park. On the way there, I run at a rate of x^2 miles per hour for 3 hours. On the way back, I take the same path and jog at a slower rate of 16 - 4x miles per hour so that it takes me 4 hours to get home. Given that x > 0, what is x? Express your answer as a common fraction.
