Question

when 3 is divided by the sum of x and 8 ,the result is the same as dividing 2 by the sum of x and 3,find the number​

Answer 1

x = your number

3 / ( x + 8 ) = 2 / ( x + 3 )

Cross multiply

3 ∙ ( x + 3 ) = ( x + 8 ) ∙ 2

3 x + 9 = 2 x + 16

Subtract 2 x to both sides

x + 9 = 16

Subtract 9 to both sides

x = 7
