Answer:

x = -5/7

Step-by-step explanation:

8/(x+3)=1/(x+1)

Using cross products

8*(x+1) = 1*(x+3)

Distribute

8x+8 = x+3

Subtract x from each side

8x-x +8 = x+3-x

7x +8 =3

Subtract 8 from each side

7x+8-8 = 3-8

7x = -5

Divide by 7

7x/7 = -5/7

x = -5/7

land area of Alaska: 1,700,000 square kilometers
land area of Florida: 0.10 of Alaska

To find the land area of Florida, we multiply its decimal to the land area of Alaska

1,700,000 sq. km * 0.10 = 170,000 square kilometers.
