Answer:

x = 2

Explanation:

You can make a ratio out of this!

2 / x = (x+1) / 3

1. Cross multiply^

2. 2 * 3 = x (x+1)

3. 6 = x^2 + x

3. x^2 + x - 6

4. Factor^

5. (x-2)(x+3)

6. x - 2 = 0 turns into x = 2

7. x + 3 = 0 turns into x = -3

8. There's not way to measure -3 yet, so you are left with x = 2
