x=261

Explanation:

Since -
#x/3+2=89#

Suppose value of x = 1

then

#1/3+2=89#
or
1 divided by 3 = 0.333x
Hence by putting value of x in the formula-

#0.333x+2=89#
or
#89-2=0.333x#
or
#87=0.333x#

or

#x=87//0.333#

= 261
Hence x = 261

By putting x value in above question -

#261//3 + 2 = 89#

0r

# 87+2 = 89#
