We set up the equation (x + 2) / b = 5 / 2 and solve for b, resulting in the expression b = (2(x + 2)) / 5. This problem demonstrates how to handle algebraic expressions in proportions.

Description

This example demonstrates solving a proportion problem using similar parallelograms with algebraic expressions. Two parallelograms are shown, one with side lengths of 6 and x, and the other with expressions of 3x + 2 and 22. The problem requires setting up a proportion to determine the value of x for which the parallelograms are similar: 6 / 22 = x / (3x + 2). Solving this equation leads to x = 3.
