Answer:

7/12.

Step-by-step explanation:

x-5/x+5+4=⅛

x-5/x+9=⅛

x-5=⅛(x+9)

x-5=⅛x+1⅛

x-⅛x=1⅛+5

⅞x=49/8

7x=49

x=7

thus the initial fraction is x/x+5= <u>7</u><u>/</u><u>1</u><u>2</u>

27j - 6 = 14j + 7 *it has to show work*
lutik1710 [3]

27j-6=14j+7

Subtract 14j from both sides

27j-6-14j=14j+7-14j

13j-6=7

Add 6 to both sides

13j-6+6=7+6

13j=13

Divide both sides by 13

13j/13=13/13

j=1


I hope that's help !
