Hi,
((2)/(3)+x):x=(5)/(2):(5)/(3)
.
*Note: Express the ratio in the following form
%28%282%2F3%29%2Bx%29%2Fx+=+%285%2F2%29%2F%285%2F3%29
.
simplify by multiplying the numerator and denominator on the right side by 6
%28%282%2F3%29%2Bx%29%2Fx+=+%2815%2F10%29
.
cross multiply to solve
15%2Ax+=+10%2A%282%2F3+%2Bx%29
15%2Ax+=+20%2F3+%2B10%2Ax
5%2Ax+=+20%2F3+
x+=+highlight%284%2F3%29+
