RecoverySolve for x usingcross multiplication.2x + 132x11 -=x + 22x = [?]Enter

Answer 1

x = 4

Explanation:

Cross-multiplying means multiplying the numerator of one side by the denominator of the other side.

So, let's multiply the sides:

`\begin{gathered} (2x+1)/(3)=(x+2)/(2) \\ 2\cdot(2x+1)=3\cdot(x+2) \end{gathered}`

Now, we can solve each side:

`\begin{gathered} 4x+2=3x+6 \\ 4x-3x=6-2 \\ 1x=4 \\ x=4 \end{gathered}`

So, x = 4.
