For this case we must simplify the following expression:

So, if we apply distributive property to the terms within parentheses we have:

We simplify taking into account that:
- Equal signs are added and the same sign is placed.
- Different signs are subtracted and the major sign is placed.

Answer:

Answer:
x = -5/7
Step-by-step explanation:
8/(x+3)=1/(x+1)
Using cross products
8*(x+1) = 1*(x+3)
Distribute
8x+8 = x+3
Subtract x from each side
8x-x +8 = x+3-x
7x +8 =3
Subtract 8 from each side
7x+8-8 = 3-8
7x = -5
Divide by 7
7x/7 = -5/7
x = -5/7
D because those options do not intersect and are part of the universal set
-6+3=-3 :-) hope that help
