1/(x+2) = 3/xx=3(x+2)x=3x+6-6=2xx=-3
2/x =16/20 16x = 40 x = 2.5
The reciprocal of a number is the multiplicative inverse of that number. The reciprocal of two thirds is three halves (1 divided by 2/3 is the same as 1 multiplied by 3/2). Therefore, the product of two thirds and its reciprocal (three halves) is 1.
The reciprocal of two thirds is three halves - which is one and a half (1.5).

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.
