Answer:

Solution for your question is X=120

Answer:

x = 120

Step-by-step explanation:

Express the ratios as equivalent fractions, that is

\frac{x-20}{x+280} = \frac{1}{4} ( cross- multiply )

4(x - 20) = x + 280

4x - 80 = x + 280 ( subtract x from both sides )

3x - 80 = 280 ( add 80 to both sides )

3x = 360 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 120
