Answer:

This statement would be false.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equations have slopes that are positive and negative. Therefore, we know that they will intersect at some point because the slopes are not the same. In fact, they intersect at the point (9 3/4, 1 1/2).

I have attached an image of the graph of these two equations for your reference.

beks73 [17]

Answer:

$x = 0$ or $x = -\dfrac{11}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume the denominators are x + 5 and x + 4 although that is not what you wrote.

$\dfrac{4x}{x+5} = \dfrac{x}{x+4}$

$(x + 4)(x + 5)\times \dfrac{4x}{x+5} = (x + 4)(x + 5) \times \dfrac{x}{x+4}$

$(x + 4)(4x) = (x + 5)(x)$

$4x^2 + 16x = x^2 + 5x$

$3x^2 + 11x = 0$

$x(3x + 11) = 0$

$x = 0$ or $3x + 11 = 0$

$x = 0$ or $3x = -11$

$x = 0$ or $x = -\dfrac{11}{3}$
