GIVEN: \(\frac{x+2y}{2x-y}=2\)
Multiply both sides by \(2x-y\) to get: \(x+2y = 2(2x-y)\)
Expand to get: \(x+2y = 4x-2y\)
Subtract \(x\) from both sides to get: \(2y = 3x-2y\)
Add \(2y\) to both sides to get: \(4y = 3x\)
Divide both sides by \(3\) to get: \(\frac{4y}{3} = x\)
Answer: D

\(\text{ If } \frac{x+2y}{2x-y} = 2, \text{ then } x=?\)
\(\frac{x+2y}{2x-y} = 2\)
\(x+2y=2(2x-y)\)
\(x+2y=4x-2y\)
\(x-4x+2y+y+2y=0\)
\(-3x+4y=0\)
\(-3x=-4y\)
\(x=\frac{-4y}{-3}\)
\(x=\frac{4y}{3}\)
Answer is Choice D.
\(\frac{x+2y}{2x-y} = 2\)
\(x+2y=2(2x-y)\)
\(x+2y=4x-2y\)
\(x-4x+2y+y+2y=0\)
\(-3x+4y=0\)
\(-3x=-4y\)
\(x=\frac{-4y}{-3}\)
\(x=\frac{4y}{3}\)
Answer is Choice D.
