Question

Solve for x: 2 over quantity x plus 2 plus 1 over 5 equals 6 over quantity x plus 5, will someone help me with this please?

Answer 1

Is this the equation?

\( \dfrac{2}{x + 2} + \dfrac{1}{5} = \dfrac{6}{x + 5} \)

Answer 2

Yes, it is :)

Answer 3

I was thinking that it may be x=13 because 13+2 is 15 and in order to get 15 you have to multiply 3 by 5. And to get 6 you have to multiply 6 by 3. @mathstudent55

Answer 4

Does that make any sense???
