Question

My daughter needs help with step by step doing this equation

Answer 1

Step 1. Multiply both sides by
`x+2`


`3x= (5)/(9) (x+2)`

Step 2. Simplify
`(5)/(9) (x+2`) to
`(5(x+2))/(9)`


`3x= (5(x+2))/(9)`

Step 3. Multiply both sides by 9


`27x=5(x+2)`

Step 4. Expand


`27x=5x+10`

Step 5. Subtract
`5x` from both sides


`27x-5x=10`

Step 6. Simplify
`27x-5x` to
`22x`


`22x=10`

Step 7. Divide both sides by 22


`x= (10)/(22)`

Step 8. Simplify
`(10)/(22)` to
`(5)/(11)`


`x= (5)/(11)`

Done! :)
