Question

if (4x+5):(3x+11)=13:17, find the value of x.

Answer 1

(4x+5)/(3x+11)=13/17
Cross multiply
17(4x+5)=13(3x+11)
68x+85=39x+143
68x-39x=143-85
29x=58
x=2

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Heya here is ya answer

====================================

( 4x + 5 ): ( 3x + 11 ) = 13:17

We can write it also this way

4x + 5 / 3x + 11 = 13 / 17

= > 17 ( 4x + 5 ) = 13 ( 3x + 11 )

= > 68x + 85 = 39x + 143

= > 68x - 39x = 143 - 85

= > 29x = 58

= > x = 58 / 29

=> x = 2

thanks
