[tex]x:(x+4) = 3:5\\\\\implies \dfrac x{x+4} = \dfrac 35 \\\\\implies 5x = 3x +12\\\\\implies 5x -3x = 12\\\\\implies 2x = 12\\\\\implies x = \dfrac{12}2 = 6[/tex]
Answer:
X=6
Step-by-step explanation:
X divided by(x+4)=3 divided by 5, x=-4
cross multiply
5x=3(x+4)
Remove parentheses
5x=3x+12
move the variable to the left
5x-3x=12
collect like terms
2x=12
divide both sides
x=6
