Use cross products to solve the proportion. StartFraction 4 over 3 EndFraction = StartFraction x over 12 EndFraction 1. Use cross products: (4)(12) = 3x 2. Multiply: 48 = 3x 3. Divide both sides by 3: = x

The answer is 16.

You will thank me later, have a great day!

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
