Question 626859: For the propotion 4/x+1 = 3/x+2, all of the other websites I looked at said the answer was x=-5, but I got positive five. Can someone tell me which the correct solution is? I cross-multiplied and got 4x + 8 = 3x + 3. Wouldn't that be x=5? Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
