The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \(\frac{x+2}{9} = \frac{x+4}{11}\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Cross-multiply the fractions To eliminate the denominators, we can cross-multiply: \[ (x + 2) \cdot 11 = (x + 4) \cdot 9 \] ### Step 2: Expand both sides Now, we will expand both sides of the equation: \[ 11(x + 2) = 9(x + 4) \] This gives us: \[ 11x + 22 = 9x + 36 \] ### Step 3: Move all \(x\) terms to one side Next, we will move all terms involving \(x\) to the left side and constant terms to the right side. We can subtract \(9x\) from both sides: \[ 11x - 9x + 22 = 36 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2x + 22 = 36 \] ### Step 4: Move constant terms to the right side Now, we will subtract \(22\) from both sides: \[ 2x = 36 - 22 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2x = 14 \] ### Step 5: Solve for \(x\) Finally, we will divide both sides by \(2\) to solve for \(x\): \[ x = \frac{14}{2} \] This gives us: \[ x = 7 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the solution to the equation is: \[ \boxed{7} \] ---
