Question

1. If (x +3): (x + 11) = (x - 2): (x + 1) then find the value of x. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

=> x+3/x+11 x x-2/x+1

=> (x+3)(x+1) = (x+11)(x-2)

=> $x^{2}$  + x + 3x + 3 = $x^{2}$-2x +11x-22

=> 4x + 3 = 9x - 22

=> 5x = 25

=> x=5

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

( x+3)(x+11) = (x-2)(x+1)

x(x+11)+3(x+11) = x (x + 1) - 2(x+1)

x²+11x+3x+33 = x²+x - 2x + 2

x²+ 14x+33 = x² - x + 2

14x + x = -2-33

13x = -35

x = - 35/ 13
