Answer:

x=
(y+2)/(3)

Explanation:

1) since we are solving for x we want x to be the ONLY thing on the other side of the equation symbol:

for ex. x=

2) to do this, we need to eliminate -2, we eliminate -2 by adding 2 on both sides:

y+2=3x-2+2

y+2=3x

remove 3 by dividing it on both sides(opposite operation)


(y+2)/(3)=x

this is our final equation since we have solved for x

hope this helps
