Question

Plz reanswer it If (x+4): (3x+1) is the duplicate ratio of 3:4 find the value of x.​

Answer 1

`\boxed{\sf x = (13)/(5) }`

Given:

(x + 4):(3x + 1) is the duplicate ratio of 3:4

To Find:

Value of x

Step-by-step explanation:

`\sf Solve \: for \: x: \\ \sf \implies (x + 4) : (3x + 1) = 3 : 4 \\ \\ \sf Convert \: ratios \: to \: fractions: \\ \sf \implies (x + 4)/(3x + 1) = (3)/(4) \\ \\ \sf Cross \: multiply: \\ \sf \implies 4(x + 4) = 3(3x + 1) \\ \\ \sf Expand \: out \: terms \: of \: the \: left \: hand \: side: \\ \sf \implies 4x + 16 = 3(3x + 1) \\ \\ \sf Expand \: out \: terms \: of \: the \: right \: hand \: side: \\ \sf \implies 4x + 16 = 9x + 3 \\ \\ \sf Subtract \: 9 x + 16 \: from \: both \: sides: \\ \sf \implies - 5x = - 13 \\ \\ \sf Divide \: both \: sides \: by \: - 5: \\ \sf \implies x = (13)/(5)`

Answer 2

Answer: x = 13/5

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+4)/(3x+1) = 3/4

Cross multiply:

4(x+4) = 3(3x+1)
4x + 16 = 9x + 3
4x - 9x = 3 - 16
-5x = -13
x = -13/-5
x = 13/5
