Question

(x+3):(x+11) = (x-2):(x+1) find the value of x

Answer 1

As ratio means the division we get

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

Now by simply doing cross multiplication

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

x²+x+3x+3 = x²+11x-2x-22

x²+4x+3 = x²+9x-22

x²-x²+4x-9x+3+22=0

-5x+25=0

25=5x

therefore,
x = 25/5

x= 5

Answer:- x = 5

Answer 2

x=5
