What are you trying to figure out??
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
-3x+(-15)+8=2x+8-6
45x+8=2x+2
