(-2)/(x+4)=(-3)/(x+1)

\frac{- 2}{x + 4} = \frac{- 3}{x + 1}

x = - 10

Solution steps

\frac{- 2}{x + 4} = \frac{- 3}{x + 1}

Cross multiply

- 2 x - 2 = - 3 x - 12

Move

2

to the right side

- 2 x = - 3 x - 10

Move

3 x

to the left side

x = - 10

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = - 4, x = - 1

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = - 10

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

\frac{4}{x} = \frac{2}{x - 1}

\frac{3}{2 x + 1} = \frac{6}{x - 1}

1 - \frac{2}{3 y} = \frac{6}{15}

y, x = \frac{3 y + 1}{y - 4}
