Question 1172155
.
<pre>

Direct and literal translation of words to Math is THIS :


    find positive solution to equation  x = {{{3/x}}} + 2.



To solve it, multiply both sides by x and then simplify step by step

    x^2 = 3 + 2x

    x^2 - 2x - 3 = 0

    (x-3)*(x+1) = 0.


The two roots are  x= 3  and  x= -1; but only positive x= 3 satisfies the problem's condition.


<U>ANSWER</U>.  The number is 3.
