Solve the expression
$\frac{2x-1}{3} =\frac{x+2}{2}$

Given:$\frac{2x-1}{3} =\frac{x+2}{2}$

To do: Find the value of $x$

Solution:

$\frac{2x-1}{3} =\frac{x+2}{2}$

Cross multiply,

$2 (2x - 1)   =   3 ( x + 2)$

multiply 2 and 3 inside the brackets, 

$4x - 2    =   3x  +  6$

now keep variables on one side, and numbers on the other side

$4x  -  3x   =   6  +  2$

$x     =     8$

Therefore the value of $x$ is 8
