Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

Expressing the proportion in fractional form , that is

[tex]\frac{x+4}{x+12}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x-1}{x+5}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

(x + 4)(x + 5) = (x + 12)(x - 1) ← expand both sides using FOIL

x² + 9x + 20 = x² + 11x - 12 ← subtract x² + 9x from both sides

20 = 2x - 12 ( add 12 to both sides )

32 = 2x ( divide both sides by 2 )

16 = x → c
