Answer:

Answer is 6 the value of x is 6

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

If x and 2 are in proportion and x+2 and 6 are in proportion, we can make them equal. We can do that by doing:

$\frac{x}{2} = \frac{x+2}{6}$

After cross-multiplying, we get 2x+4 = 6x.

Subtract 2x on both sides and we get 4 = 4x

divide 4 on both sides and we get x = 1
