Question

5 6
- = ------------
3 x+2
SOLVE FOR X. NEED THE STEPS

Answer 1

cross multiply

Answer 2

\[(5/3) = (6/(x+2))\]
multiply both side by (x+2, then multiply both sides by 3

\[(X+2)*5 = 6*3\]
now divide both sides by 5


\[(X+2) = 18/5\]
subtract two from both sides

\[(x+2)-2 = [(18/5)-(10/5)]\]
now you have

\[x=8/5\]

Answer 3

Move the RHS to the LHS.\[\frac{5}{3}-\frac{6}{x+2}=0 \]\[\frac{a}{b}-\frac{c}{d}=\frac{a d-b c}{b d}\]Set ad -bc to zero and solve for x.\[5(x+2)-3*6=0 \]\[5 x-8=0 \]\[x=\frac{8}{5} \]Same as deezil_wood 's answer.
