Question

Find the value of x if x:3 =(x+2):5.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Value of x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

x:3 = (x+2):5

$\frac{x}{3}=\frac{x+2}{5}$

$\implies 5x= 3(x+2)$

$\implies 5x = 3x + 6$

$\implies 5x-3x = 6$

$\implies 2x = 6$

$\implies x= \frac{6}{2}</p><p>$

$\implies x = 3$

Therefore,

Value of x = 3
