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
