Answer:

x = 6

Explanation:

since you want to solve for x, you want to get it by itself

to start, you want to try to get (x+2) by itself, and you can do this by multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of 3/4


((4)/(3)) (3)/(4)(x+2) = 6 ((4)/(3))

since a number multiplied by its reciprocal is equal to 1, this leaves you with


(x+2) = (24)/(3)


(x+2) = 8

now, you can subtract 2 from both sides in order to get x by itself


(x+2)-2 = 8-2


x = 8-2=6

and then you have your answer

x = 6

hope this helps :)
