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
C is the answer. (X) can’t be repeated
B=3d and b=d+4
Since b=b we can say:
3d=d+4 subtract d from both sides
2d=4 divide both sides by 2
d=2
