3%2F%28X-1%29=6%2F%28X%2B2%29..........cross multiply
3%28X%2B2%29+=6%28X-1%29+..........
3X+%2B+6+=+6X+-+6+..........move 3x to the right and -6 to the left
6+%2B+6+=+6X+-+3X+..........
12+=+3X+..........divide both sides by 3
12%2F3+=+3X%2F3+..........
cross%2812%294%2Fcross%283%29+=+cross%283%29X%2Fcross%283%29+..........
4 = X ..........
or
X = 4
