Question

Solve these proportions.
x/3 = x + 2/2

x=

Answer 1

\[x/3=(x+2)/2\]

Multiply both sides by 2

\[2x/3=x+2\]

Multiply both sides by 3.



\[2x=(x+2)*3\]

So now you have 2x=3x+6

Subtract 6 from both sides

So now you have 2x-6=3x

Subtract 2x from both sides

So now you have -6=3x-2x

This becomes -6=x

Answer 2

they want it like this

= ? sqrt ?

Answer 3

That doesn't make much sense to me. But you could write -6 as \[-1\sqrt{36}\]
