I'm solving for x, but I'm not confident with my work. I feel like x should be smaller than the other side (121) but I got a result much larger than it. Can someone help?

Respuesta :

You have the ratios set up but you need to cross multiply everything:

(5x + 10) x 11 = 121 x 10

55x + 110 = 1210

Subtract 110 from both sides:

55x = 1100

Divide both sides by 55:

X = 1100 / 55

X = 20
