Hi,
TY. Parenthesis so..important for You to receive the proper help.
3%2F%28x%2B2%29%2B5=23%2F%28x%2B2%29 |Multiplying thru by (x+2) so as all denominators = 1
3 + 5(x+2) = 23
3 + 5x + 10 = 23
5x = 10
x = 2
and...
3%2F4+%2B+20%2F4+=+23%2F4
Please re-submit with parenthesis if appropriate.
Otherwise what You have submitted is:
3%2Fx+%2B+2+%2B+5+=+23%2Fx+%2B+2
