(n-2)/(n+9)= 3/14

\frac{n - 2}{n + 9} = \frac{3}{14}

n = 5

Solution steps

\frac{n - 2}{n + 9} = \frac{3}{14}

Cross multiply

14 n - 28 = 3 n + 27

Move

28

to the right side

14 n = 3 n + 55

Move

3 n

to the left side

11 n = 55

Divide both sides by

11

n = 5

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

n = - 9

Combine undefined points with solutions:

n = 5

\frac{8}{12} = \frac{r}{r + 1}

\frac{y - 5}{y + 5} = 8

\frac{x + 10}{x - 7} = \frac{8}{9}

3 = \frac{36}{x}

\frac{- 2}{x ^{2}} = - \frac{2}{25}
