Answer:

A 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Parts on the left have the same ratio as parts on the right.

... x/(x+5) = (x -2)/(x +1)

Multiplying by (x+5)(x+1), we get

... x(x +1) = (x -2)(x +5)

... x² +x = x² +3x -10 . . . . eliminate parentheses

... 0 = 2x -10 . . . . . . . . . . subtract x²+x

... 0 = x -5 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

... 5 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 5

Pie

$\bold{\huge{\underline{ Solution }}}$

We have, 

Line segment AB
The coordinates of the midpoint of line segment AB is ( -8 , 8 )
Coordinates of one of the end point of the line segment is (-2,20)

Let the coordinates of the end point of the line segment AB be ( x1 , y1 ) and (x2 , y2)

Also, 

Let the coordinates of midpoint of the line segment AB be ( x, y)

We know that,

For finding the midpoints of line segment we use formula :-

$\bold{\purple{ M( x, y) = }}{\bold{\purple{\dfrac{(x1 +x2)}{2}}}}{\bold{\purple{,}}}{\bold{\purple{\dfrac{(y1 + y2)}{2}}}}$

According to the question,

The coordinates of midpoint and one of the end point of line segment AB are ( -8,8) and (-2,-20) .

For x coordinates :-

$\sf{ -8 = }{\sf{\dfrac{(- 2 +x2)}{2}}}$

$\sf{2}{\sf{\times{ -8 = - 2 + x2 }}}$

$\sf{ - 16 = - 2 + x2 }$

$\sf{ x2 = -16 + 2 }$

$\bold{ x2 = -14 }$

For y coordinates :-

$\sf{ 8 = }{\sf{\dfrac{(- 20 +x2)}{2}}}$

$\sf{2}{\sf{\times{ 8 = - 20 + x2 }}}$

$\sf{ 16 = - 20 + x2 }$

$\sf{ y2 = 16 + 20 }$

$\bold{ y2 = 36 }$

Thus, The coordinates of another end points of line segment AB is ( -14 , 36)

Hence, Option A is correct answer
