Answer 1

Answer:

i don't know friend what will be the answer

Answer 2

EXPLANATION:-

$\frac{x + 5}{x + 1} = \frac{x - 1}{x + 2}$

By cross multiplication-

(x+5) (x+2) = (x+1)(x-1)

x(x+2)+5(x+2) = x^2 - 1^2

$x {}^{2} + 2x + 5x + 10 = {x}^{2} - 1$

${x}^{2} - {x}^{2} + 7x + 10 + 1$

7x + 11 =0

7x = -11

x = -11/7. ANSWER!!!!
