Answer:
x = 45/7
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, you can more easily see what the fractions look like.
In order to cross-multiply, you have to multiply 5 with 9, and 7 with x.
45 = 7x
Then, you isolate x by dividing 7 on both sides:
45/7 = x

2/(x + 1)
1 cup of chocolate chips for every 1and 3/4 cup of flour
so divide 4 and 2/3 x 1 and 3/4
turn them both into fractions
4 2/3 = 14/3
1 3/4 = 7/4
14/3 / 7/4 = 14/3 x 4/7 = 56/21 = 2 and 2/3 cups of chocolate chips are needed
