Question

*50 POINTS* there is a picture of the problem, say what you got for x and explain how.

Answer 1

x==18

Explanation:

Original Question :

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

(You will need to Find LCM)

`6(6) = ((x + 2)/(?3))6`

(You will then multiply 6 by 6)

(With the three you will divide 6 by 3)

`36 = (x + 2)2 \\`

(Since three can divide 6 2 times that's why we have two outside the bracket)

36=2x+4

We got this and because you will multiply 2 by the ones in the bracket

So the 4 will cross the equal sign making it negative

`36 - 4 = 2x`

You will then proceed to simplify which is going to be;

`32 = 2x`

We got 32 because 36-4 is 32

After this you divide both sides by 2

`(36)/(2 ?) = (2x)/(2?)`

36 divided by 2 is;, 18 and 2 will cancel each other out leaving x alone

So;

`x = 18`
