Step-by-step explanation:
For example, to find the common (positive) multiples of 4 and 6, we might list: Multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, … Multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60, … The numbers 12, 24, 36, and 48 appear on both of these lists, and more would appear if the lists were longer.
Cross multiply
2(11-x) = 1(3x+2)
Distribute
22-2x = 3x+2
Subtract 22 from both sides
-2x = 3x-20
Subtract 3x from both sides
-5x = -20
Divide both sides by -5
x=4
