Answer:
x==18
Step-by-step explanation:
Original Question :
[tex]6 = \frac{x + 2}{3} [/tex]
(You will need to Find LCM)
[tex]6(6) = (\frac{x + 2}{?3})6[/tex]
(You will then multiply 6 by 6)
(With the three you will divide 6 by 3)
[tex]36 = (x + 2)2 \\ [/tex]
(Since three can divide 6 2 times that's why we have two outside the bracket)
36=2x+4
We got this and because you will multiply 2 by the ones in the bracket
So the 4 will cross the equal sign making it negative
[tex]36 - 4 = 2x[/tex]
You will then proceed to simplify which is going to be;
[tex]32 = 2x[/tex]
We got 32 because 36-4 is 32
After this you divide both sides by 2
[tex] \frac{36}{2 ?} = \frac{2x}{2?} [/tex]
36 divided by 2 is;, 18 and 2 will cancel each other out leaving x alone
So;
[tex]x = 18[/tex]
