$$\frac { 2 } { x + 2 } = \frac { 5 } { 3 x - 1 }$$
Solve for x
$x=12$
Steps for Solving Linear Equation
Variable $x$ cannot be equal to any of the values $-2,\frac{1}{3}$ since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by $\left(3x-1\right)\left(x+2\right)$, the least common multiple of $x+2,3x-1$.
