I think you equation is wrong.

no its right

Can you use the Equation tool?

anonymous · Answer

$$2x +3divx =2x \div2$$

mandre · Answer

2x+3/x = 2x/2
multiply by x
2x^2 + 3 = 2x^2 / 2
2x^2 + 3 = x^2
2x^2 + 3 - x^2 = 0
x^2 = -3
x = Sqrt(-3)
Can't square root a negative for your purpose.

That is if your equation is this:
$$2x + \frac{ 3 }{ x } = \frac{ 2x }{ 2 }$$

anonymous · Answer

so is it d

mandre · Answer

Multiply by x and simplify
$$2x ^{2}+3 = x ^{2}$$
$$2x ^{2}+3-x ^{2}=0$$
$$x ^{2}=-3$$

No. Your equation is wrong.

mandre · Answer

Take square root both sides and you get Sqrt (-3). Can't get an answer that way.
