Answer:
x as a fraction: 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Variable x cannot be equal to −2 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 9(x+2), the least common multiple of 9,x+2.
2 ( x+ 2) = 9 x 3
Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by x + 2.
2x + 4 = 9 x 3
Multiply 9 and 3 to get 27.
2x + 4 = 27
Subtract 4 from both sides.
2x = 27 - 4
Subtract 4 from 27 to get 23.
2x = 23
Divide both sides by 2.
x =
