Question

Can you help me please

Answer 1

Answer: x = -11

Explanation:

First Cross product to reduce it

4(2x-5) = 12(x+2) Now apply the distributive property on each sides and solve for x.

8x - 20 = 12x + 24 Add 20 to both sides

+20 +20

8x = 12x +44 subtract 12x from both sides

-12x -12x

-4x = 44 Divide both sides by -4

x = -11

Answer 2

x = - 11

Explanation:

`(4)/(x + 2) = (12)/(2x - 5)`

Cross multiply

That's

4( 2x - 5) = 12( x + 2)

Expand the terms in the bracket

That's

8x - 20 = 12x + 24

Group like terms

8x - 12x = 24 + 20

- 4x = 44

Divide both sides by - 4

We have the final answer as

x = - 11

Hope this helps you
