Hello,
Let's r the ration
We suppose x ≠0
x=r*(x-2)==>r=x/(x-2)
x+3=r*x==> (x+3)/x=x/(x-2)==>(x+3)(x-2)=x²
==>x²+3x-2x-6=x² ==>x-6=0==>x=6
x-2=6-4=4
x=6
x+3=6+3=9
6=4*3/2
9=6*3/2
Ration 3/2
First term: 4
The equivalent fractions are 3/4 & 12/16 hope this helps!!
If u take you answer as x and do the problem u will see that they are equal so u would have to have a different answers for x or say -6.1 is greater than or equal to -17.4 + 11.3
