Multiple choice Find the value of x in $\frac{2x + 4}{x+ 5} = 7$. x = $\frac{-39}{9}$ x = $\frac{-1}{2}$ x = $\frac{-31}{5}$ x = $\frac{39}{9}$ Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself C Correct answer Explanation $\frac{2x + 4}{x+ 5} = 7$ 2x + 4 = 7 (x + 5) 2x + 4 = 7x + 35 2x – 7x = 35 – 4 – 5x = 31 $\therefore$ x =$\frac{-31}{5}$
