(-2)/(x+4)= 4/(x+3)

\frac{- 2}{x + 4} = \frac{4}{x + 3}

x = - \frac{11}{3}

Solution steps

\frac{- 2}{x + 4} = \frac{4}{x + 3}

Cross multiply

- 2 x - 6 = 4 x + 16

Move

6

to the right side

- 2 x = 4 x + 22

Move

4 x

to the left side

- 6 x = 22

Divide both sides by

- 6

x = - \frac{11}{3}

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = - 4, x = - 3

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = - \frac{11}{3}

\frac{x + 3}{x} = - 3

\frac{3 - x}{2 + x} = 1

\frac{5}{3} = \frac{4}{y} - 1

2 = \frac{x + 7}{x - 10}

3 = - \frac{6}{d}
