Question

solve (5/x+5)= (15/x+7)

Answer 1

5/x-15/x=2
-10/x=2
-2x=10
x=-5

Answer 2

you can use cross multiplication

Answer 3

so multiply 5 by x+7 which is equal to 15 multiplied by x+5

Answer 4

then that is 5(x+7)=15(x+5)
which can be simplified to:
5x+35=15x+75

Answer 5

after that i think u can can solve for x from there
then make sure to check your answer by substituting the value of x into the original equation

Answer 6

\[\frac{5}{x+5}=\frac{15}{x+7}\]

Answer 7

\[5x+35=15x+75\]

Answer 8

\[-10x=40\]

Answer 9

\[x=-4\]
