If twice a number added to 3 is divided by the number plus 2, the result is three halves. Find the number and Lowest common denominator.
--------------------------
Let the number be "x".
Equation:
(2x+3)/(x+2) = 3/2
Cross-multiply to get:
4x+6 = 3x+6
x = 0
---------------------
What common denominator???
