Question

How do you solve 3 over x+2 equals 2 over x-2 using cross multiplication?

Answer 1

Yes. The stuff it's dividing move it to the other side of the equal sign multiplying.
3*(x-2)=2*(x+2)
Then multiply out
3x-6=2x+4
move the 2x left and the 6 to the right
3x-2x=4+6
x=10

Answer 2

when you do cross multiplication this is what happens\[\frac{3}{x+2} = \frac {2}{x-2} \rightarrow 3(x-2) = 2(x+2)\]

Answer 3

The answer is x=4 I got 10 though

Answer 4

Nevermind. x=4 doesn't work

Answer 5

I got ten above.
And ten does work.
3*(10-2)=2*(10+2)
3*8=2*12
24=24

Answer 6

2(x+2)=3(x-2)
3x-6=2x+4
3x-2x=4+6
x=10
