Answer:

$\boxed{\sf x = \frac{13}{5} }$

Given:

(x + 4):(3x + 1) is the duplicate ratio of 3:4

To Find:

Value of x

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf Solve \: for \: x: \\ \sf \implies (x + 4) : (3x + 1) = 3 : 4 \\ \\ \sf Convert \: ratios \: to \: fractions: \\ \sf \implies \frac{x + 4}{3x + 1} = \frac{3}{4} \\ \\ \sf Cross \: multiply: \\ \sf \implies 4(x + 4) = 3(3x + 1) \\ \\ \sf Expand \: out \: terms \: of \: the \: left \: hand \: side: \\ \sf \implies 4x + 16 = 3(3x + 1) \\ \\ \sf Expand \: out \: terms \: of \: the \: right \: hand \: side: \\ \sf \implies 4x + 16 = 9x + 3 \\ \\ \sf Subtract \: 9 x + 16 \: from \: both \: sides: \\ \sf \implies - 5x = - 13 \\ \\ \sf Divide \: both \: sides \: by \: - 5: \\ \sf \implies x = \frac{13}{5}$
