Question

Solve the proportion. Show you work. 3/x+1=5/11

Answer 1

Answer:

x = $\frac{28}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

given

$\frac{3}{x+1}$ = $\frac{5}{11}$ ( cross- multiply )

5(x + 1) = 33

5x + 5 = 33 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

5x = 28 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = $\frac{28}{5}$
