Question 980419: 11x/4 = 2x/5
My work:
11x/4 = 2x/5
I cross multiplied and got 5(11x) = 4(2x)
55x = 8x
55 divided by 8 and 8 divided by 8 and get 55/8x = x
I'm not sure if I did this wrong and if I just need to do more steps

11x%2F4+=+2x%2F5+
5%2811x%29+=+4%282x%29
55x+=+8x=> 55x will be equal to 8x only if only x=0
