akashdeepdeb · Answer

Cross multiply.
Then solve like a simple equation.

jonnyvonny · Answer

When approached with 2 fractions that equal one another, you may "cross multiply". So, you would multiply the 2 and 7 and the (x+1) by 5. $$14=5x+5$$
From then, you solve for x.
$$14=5x+5\rightarrow9=5x \rightarrow9/5=x$$
I hope this helped, feel free to pst me if you need further elaboration or assistance with any other problem. :)

so  $$x= \frac{ 11 }{ 3 }$$ ???

anonymous · Answer

No.  Try looking up what cross multiplying is and how to do it.  This is what you do.
(5)(x+1) = (7)(2)
5x + 5 = 14
5x = 14 - 5
5x = 9
x = 9/5       So the answer is x = 9/5.
