Question 174048
{{{5/(x+2)=3/x}}}  clear the denominator on the right side. Multiply  both sides by x

{{{5x/(x+2) = 3}}} clear the denominator on the left side y multiplying both sides by (x+2)

{{{5x = 3*(x+2)}}} expand using distribution
{{{5x = 3x + 6}}} isolate like terms (subtrsct 3x from both sides)
{{{2x = 6 }}} isolate x by dividing both sides by 2
{{{x = 3}}}
