    x = 2+(2/(2+(2/(2+(2/(2+(2/(2+(2/x)))))))))     find x.

$$\:\:\:\:\mathrm{x}\:=\:\mathrm{2}+\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{2}+\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{2}+\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{2}+\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{2}+\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{x}}}}}} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\mathrm{find}\:\mathrm{x}.\: \\ $$

2+(2/x)=((2x+2)/x)=a  2+(2/a)=2+(x/(x+1))=((3x+2)/(x+1))=b  2+(2/b)=2+((2x+2)/(3x+2))=((8x+6)/(3x+2))=c  2+(2/c)=2+((6x+4)/(8x+6))=((22x+16)/(8x+6))=((11x+8)/(4x+3))=d  x=2+(2/d)=2+((8x+6)/(11x+8))=((30x+22)/(11x+8))  ⇒11x^2 +8x=30x+22  11x^2 −22x−22=0  x=1±(√(3 ))  ✓

x=2+(2/x)⇒x^2 −2x−2=0  x_(>0) =((2+(√(4+8)))/2) =1+(√3)

$${x}=\mathrm{2}+\frac{\mathrm{2}}{{x}}\Rightarrow{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{2}{x}−\mathrm{2}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${x}_{>\mathrm{0}} =\frac{\mathrm{2}+\sqrt{\mathrm{4}+\mathrm{8}}}{\mathrm{2}}\:=\mathrm{1}+\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}\: \\ $$

no.  it not x=2+(2/(2+(2/(2+(2/(2+...))))))

$${no}. \\ $$$${it}\:{not}\:{x}=\mathrm{2}+\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{2}+\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{2}+\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{2}+...}}} \\ $$

x=2+(2/x)  insert x=2+(2/x) on the rhs ⇒  x=2+(2/(2+(2/x)))  insert x=2+(2/x) on the rhs ⇒  x=2+(2/(2+(2/(2+(2/x)))))  ...
