Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! CORRECT ANSWERS ONLY PLEASE!! What is the value of x?

Answer 1

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{x+2}{15} =\dfrac{x+1}{5}$

cross multiply: 5(x + 2) = 15(x + 1)

distribute: 5x + 10 = 15x + 15

                -5x          -5x          

                          10 = 10x + 15

                        -15           -15

                          -5  = 10x

                           $\dfrac{-5}{10}=\dfrac{10x}{10}$

                           $-\dfrac{1}{2} =x$
