Mathematics

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x}{3} =\frac{x+2}{5}$ Original equation

$x=\frac{3(x+2)}{5}$ Multiply both sides by 3 (Multiplication Property of Equality)

5x=3(x+2) Multiply both sides by 5 (same property as previous step)

5x=3x+6 Distributive Property

2x=6 Subtract 3x from both sides to isolate the variable

x=3 Divide both sides by 2 (Division Property of Equality)
