Question

Find the value of X in the diagram below.

Answer 1

The answer to your question is x = 2

Explanation:

Process

1.- Use proportions to solve this problem

`(4x + 2)/(23) = (2x + 16)/(23 + 23)`

2.- Solve for x

46(4x + 2) = 23(2x + 16)

Expand

184x + 92 = 46x + 368

Simplify

184x - 46x = 368 - 92

138x = 276

x = 276/138

Result

x = 2
