The answer to this mathematical question would be "0.4x = 4.4". I simply subtracted 1.8x to both sides of the equation (following the subtraction property of equations) and then added 4.4 to both sides of the equation (following the addition property of equations). Thus, we arrive to the answer, 0.4x = 4.4.
Answer:
A 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Parts on the left have the same ratio as parts on the right.
... x/(x+5) = (x -2)/(x +1)
Multiplying by (x+5)(x+1), we get
... x(x +1) = (x -2)(x +5)
... x² +x = x² +3x -10 . . . . eliminate parentheses
... 0 = 2x -10 . . . . . . . . . . subtract x²+x
... 0 = x -5 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
... 5 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 5
