x+4/x+2=x+1/x+5 cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( "(x+2)(x+1)=(x+4)(x+5)
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+3x+2=x^2+9x+20
\n" ); document.write( "x^2-x^2+3x-9x=20-2
\n" ); document.write( "-6x=18
\n" ); document.write( "x=18/-6
\n" ); document.write( "x=-3 ans.
\n" ); document.write( "Proof:
\n" ); document.write( "(-3+4)/(-3+2)=(-3+1)/(-3+5)
\n" ); document.write( "1/-1=-2/2
\n" ); document.write( "-1=-1
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
