Cross multiply
20(x+1)=14(x-1)
20x+20=14x-14
Subtract 14x on each side giving you
6x+20=-14
Subtract 20 on each side giving you
6x=-34
x=-34/6. Simplifying that you get x=-17/3. I hope this helps!!!

Answer:

X=-17/3

Step-by-step explanation:

x+1/x-1 = 14/20

20x+20=14x-14

Subtract 20 from both sides

20x+20-20=14x-14-20

Simplify

20x=14x-34

Subtract 14x from both sides

20x-14x=14x-34-14x

Simplify

6x=-34

Divide both sides by 6

6x/6=-34/6

Simplify

X=-17/3

Thank you for letting me help!!

Answer:

12. -11

13. 2

Step-by-step explanation:

12. First recall the order of operations (BEDMAS): Brackets, Exponents, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction

For question 12 there is a division and its priority is before other operations in the equation so you must divide 16/-2 first which gives you -8.

From there because addition and subtraction is on the same level of order, you would do the question straight as it is shown (but replace 16/-2 with -8.

Your new equation is -10-8+7 = -11

13. follow the same as above using BEDMAS. It may help to look at it with additional brackets: ((-68)/(-4)) + ((5 x (-3))

  • keep in mind there’s an addition between the two

Division and multiplication is on the same level in BEDMAS so first divide -68/-4 = 17

Second multiply 5 x -3 = -15

Now you can combine the two answers using addition: 17 + (-15) = 2
