1/(x+2)=3(1/x) x=3x+6 -2x=6 x=-3 Does this make sense? 1/(-3+2)=-1=3(1/-3) Yup. It works.

Thirty decreased by three times a number is six less than three times the number. Find the number.
If a number is more than 1, then three of it must be more than 3.(If I give you more than a dollar three times, you certainly wind up with more than $3.)

1/(x+2) = 3/xx=3(x+2)x=3x+6-6=2xx=-3
Four more than three times a number
The sum of three times a number and its square is 10 more than 6 times a number?
A reciprocal is an "upside-down number"!More technically, the reciprocal of a number is 1 divided by the number.Examples:the reciprocal of 2 is one-half (0.5)the reciprocal of 10 is one-tenth (0.1)the reciprocal of 1 = 1
