Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:






This implies
x+2=4
and
-(x+2)=-4.
x+2=4 implies x=2 since subtract 2 on both sides gives us x=2.
Solving -(x+2)=-4 should give us the same value.
Multiply both sides by -1:
x+2=4
It is the same equation as the other.
You will get x=2 either way.
Let's check:


Put both sides into your calculator and see if you get the same thing on both sides:
Left hand side gives 256/81.
Right hand side gives 256/81.
Both side are indeed the same for x=2.
in 1st figure
2:1=(x+2):2
2/1=(x+2)/2
4=x+2
x=2.
Similarly in the 2nd figure
8:5=(8+3):(5+x)
8/5 = 11/ (5+x)
8(5+x) =55
40+8x=55
8x=15
x=15/8
x=1.875
