Given:

The equation is:


5x-2=4+2x

To find:

The number that belongs in the green box and another box.

Solution:

We have,


5x-2=4+2x

Subtracting 2x from both sides, we get


5x-2-2x=4+2x-2x


3x-2=4

Adding 2 on both sides, we get


3x-2+2=4+2


3x=6

We need to divide both sides by 3 to isolate the variable x.

On dividing both side by 3, we get


(3x)/(3)=(6)/(3)

Therefore, the missing values are 3 and 3, and the required equation is
(3x)/(3)=(6)/(3).
