Question

(x+5): (x+14) = (x-3) : (x-2) the find the value of x​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hey buddy the correct answer is 1 / 4 .

Step-by-step explanation:

( x + 5 ) : ( x +14 ) = ( x - 3 ) : ( x - 2 )

( x + 5 ) / ( x + 14 ) = ( x - 3 ) / ( x - 2 )

By cross - multiplication ,

( x + 5 ) ( x - 2 ) = ( x - 3 ) ( x + 14 )

x^2 - 2x + 5x - 10 = x^2 + 14x - 3x - 42

x^2 + 3x - 10 = x^2 + 11x - 42

3x - 11x = - 42 + 10

- 8x = - 32

x = - 8 / - 32 = 1 / 4
