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!!

A large concrete mixing machine can mix a certain amount of concede in 12 hours, while a smallet one can mix
Andrews [41]

Answer:

[(1/12)(5/5) + (1/20)(3/3)](x hours) = 1

(5/60 + 3/60)x = 1

(8/60)x = 1 we can reduce 8/60 by dividing out a 4

(2/15)x = 1 x both sides by 15/2

x = 15/2

x = 7 1/2 or 7.5 hours

China generated 237.188 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of wind energy in 2018. The population in China in 2018 was 1.379 billion.
maw [93]

Answer:

172 kilowatts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Energy : 237.188 billion = 237,188,000,000 = 2.37188 × 10¹¹

People : 1.379 billion = 1,379,000,000 = 1.379 × 10⁹

Divide both values : 2.37188 ÷ 1.379 = 1.72; 10¹¹ ÷ 10⁹ = 10² ⇒ 1.72 × 10² or 172 kilowatts.
