Lesson Steps

Step Type Explanation Answer

1

Problem

Solving the Proportion \$(2x + 1) : 3\$ = \$(x + 2) : 3\$.

2

Step

Given Proportion

\$(2x + 1) : 3\$ = \$(x + 2) : 3\$

3

Step

First, convert the provided proportion into a fraction

\$(2x + 1) / 3\$ = \$(x + 2) / 3\$

4

Step

To solve the proportion, begin by cross-multiplying

\$(2x + 1)3\$ = \$(x + 2)3\$

⇒ \$6x + 3\$ = \$3x + 6\$

5

Step

Move the variables to one side and the constants to the other side carefully

\$6x - 3x = 6 - 3\$

6

Step

Divide both sides by the number connected to the variable

\$(3x)/3 = 3/3\$

7

Step

The value of x is:

\$x = 1\$
