Answer: x = 5/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

1/3 (x + 1) + 2x = 2

(1/3) (x) + (1/3) (1) + 2x = 2 (Distribute)

1/3x + 1/3 + 2x = 2

(1/3x + 2x) + (1/3) = 2 (Combine Like Terms)

7/3x + 1/3 = 2

Step 2: Subtract 1/3 from both sides.

7/3x + 1/3 - 1/3 = 2 - 1/3

7/3x = 5/3

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 3/7.

(3/7) * (7/3x) = (3/7) * (5/3)

Answer: x = 5/7

Set up a proportion
EA / EB = ED/ EC
16 / (5x + 2 + 16) = 12 / (12 + 24)
16/(5x + 18) = 12 / 36 Cross multiply
16 * 36 = (4x + 18)*12 Remove the brackets
576 = 48x + 216 Subtract 216 from both sides.
360 = 48x Divide by 48
360/48 = x
7.5 = x
