12/(X+1)=20/3X NOW CROSS MULTIPLY
\n" ); document.write( "20(X+1)=12*3X
\n" ); document.write( "20X+20=36X
\n" ); document.write( "20X-36X=-20
\n" ); document.write( "-16X=-20
\n" ); document.write( "X=-20/-16
\n" ); document.write( "X=5/4 OR 1.25 ANSWER.
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF
\n" ); document.write( "12/2.25=20/3*1.25
\n" ); document.write( "5.333=20/3.75
\n" ); document.write( "5.333=5.333\r
