Answer: x = 4 :)

(x + 6): x= 5:2

x : x + 6 : x = 5 : 2

1 + 6:x = 2,5

6:x = 2,5 - 1

6:x = 1,5

x = 6: 1,5

x= 4

Have a nice day:)

Answer:

x is 4

Explanation:


{ \bf{(x + 6) : x = 5 :2 }} \\ { \tt{ ((x + 6))/(x) = (5)/(2) }} \\ \\ { \tt{5x = 2(x + 6)}} \\ { \tt{5x = 2x + 12}} \\ { \tt{3x = 12}} \\ { \tt{x = 4}}
