Question

SOLVE FOR x : x + 2 / 2x + 6 = 3/8
​

Answer 1

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

x+2/2x+6 = 3/8

-> (transposing)

8(x+2) = 3(2x+6)

8x+16 = 6x+18

8x-6x = 18-16

2x= 2

x=2/2

x= 1

Answer 2

Explanation:

$\mathsf{ \frac{x + 2}{2x + 6} = \frac{3}{8} }$

$\mathsf{ = = > 8(x+2)=3(2x+6)}$

$\mathsf{ = = > 8x + 16 = 6x + 18 }$

$\mathsf{ = = > 8x - 6x = 18 - 16 }$

$\mathsf{ = = > 2x = 2}$

$\mathsf{ = = > x = \frac{2}{2} }$

Hence, x = 1.

Answer: x = 1

I hope this helps. :D
