Answer:

 \frac{3 + x}{4 + x}  =  \frac{ - 5}{7}  \\ 7(3 + x) =  - 5(4 + x) \\ 21 + 7x =  - 20 - 5x \\ 21 + 20 =  - 5x - 7x \\ 41 =  - 12x \\ x =  \frac{ - 41}{12}

Answer:

x = (-41)/12

Step-by-step explanation:

3+x/4+x= -5/7

By cross multiplication, we have:

3+x/4+x = -5/7

= 7(3+x) = -5(4+x)

By multiplying, we have:

7(3+x) = -5(4+x)

= 21 + 7x = -20 + (-5x)

To get the variables (x) to LHS, we have:

21 + 7x = -20 + (-5x)

= 7x + 5x = -21 - 20

= 12x = -41

= x = -41/12

Hope it helps you!
