Hey hey hey peeps :) so I really need some help because my teacher is a drunk who doesn't know to teach :/ so could someone help me with this question?
Solve for x in the proportion x over the quantity x plus 12 equals 1 over the quantity x minus 1.

x ≈ −6.02 and x ≈ 5.02

x ≈ −3.46 and x ≈ 3.46

x ≈ −3.14 and x ≈ 4.14

x ≈ −2.61 and x ≈ 4.61

I think you should stop blaming other people for your problems and take responsibility for them.

Read through the question slowly and turn it into an equation bit by bit. It isn't that hard.

Make "x over the quantity x plus 12 equals 1 over the quantity x minus 1" an equation. Surely if you saw:

3x-12=1 you would say, "three times x minus twelve equals one". What's so hard about reversing this around? Do it.
