Solve for x. Isolate the x. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
First, multiply 3 to both sides
6(3) = ((x + 2)/3)(3)
18 = x + 2
Finally, isolate the x. Subtract 2 from both sides
18 (-2) = x + 2 (-2)
x = 18 - 2
x = 16
16 is your answer for x
hope this helps
