Question

start on the left side, where there are 3 groups of (x + 2). if you divide 3 groups of (x + 2) by 3, what remains on the left?
\\(\frac{3(x + 2)}{3}\\) = \\(\frac{7.2}{3}\\)
\\(\boxed{\space}\\) = ?

Explanation:

Step1: Simplify left-hand side

$\frac{3(x+2)}{3} = x+2$

Step2: Simplify right-hand side

$\frac{7.2}{3} = 2.4$

Answer:

Left box: $x+2$; Right value: $2.4$
