You can put this solution on YOUR website!
From x+2/x + 1/3 = 2, we multiply all by 3x to clear fractions
\n" ); document.write( "(x+2)/x + 1/3 = 2
\n" ); document.write( "3(x+2) + x = 6x
\n" ); document.write( "3(x+2) = 5x
\n" ); document.write( "x + 2 = 5x/3
\n" ); document.write( "now subtract off x (which is 3x/3)
\n" ); document.write( "2 = 2x/3
\n" ); document.write( "x = 3 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
