If x+ax+b=x+3ax+a+b\frac{x+a}{x+b} = \frac{x+3a}{x+a+b}x+bx+a​=x+a+bx+3a​​,find the value of ‘x’.
Question

If x+ax+b=x+3ax+a+b\frac{x+a}{x+b} = \frac{x+3a}{x+a+b}​,find the value of ‘x’.

A.

a - b

B.

a + b

C.

a + 2b

D.

a - 2b

Correct option is D

Given: 

x+ax+b=x+3ax+a+b\frac{x+a}{x+b} = \frac{x+3a}{x+a+b} 

Solution:  

x+ax+b=x+3ax+a+b (x+a)(x+a+b)=(x+b)(x+3a) x2+xa+xb+ax+a2+ab=x2+3ax+bx+3ab ax2ab+a2=0 x=a2b\frac{x + a}{x + b} = \frac{x + 3a}{x + a + b} \\ \ \\(x + a)(x + a + b) = (x + b)(x + 3a) \\ \ \\x^2 + xa + xb + ax + a^2 + ab = x^2 + 3ax + bx + 3ab \\ \ \\-ax - 2ab + a^2 = 0 \\ \ \\x = a - 2b​​
