Question

Find the value of X in the diagram below.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is  x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Process

1.- Use proportions to solve this problem

          $\frac{4x + 2}{23} = \frac{2x + 16}{23 + 23}$

2.- Solve for x

                        46(4x + 2) = 23(2x + 16)

Expand

                        184x + 92 = 46x + 368

Simplify

                        184x - 46x = 368 - 92

                         138x = 276

                              x = 276/138

Result

                              x = 2
