Let's use matching operations to move all of the terms to one quantity (see the video lesson below )
Given:
Quantity A: \(\frac{x+4}{x-4}\)
Quantity B: \(x+10\)
Since \(x>4\), we know that \(x-4\) is POSITIVE, which means we can safely multiply both quantities by \(x-4\) to get:
Quantity A: \(x+4\)
Quantity B: \(x^2+6x-40\)
Subtract \(x\) from both quantities and subtract \(4\) from both quantities to get:
Quantity A: \(0\)
Quantity B: \(x^2+5x-44\)
At this point, it's easy to see that, if \(x = 0\), then Quantity A is greater.
And, if \(x = 100\), then Quantity B is greater.
Answer: D

After simplification:
Quantity A: 44
Quantity B: x(x+5)
For x=4.1, Quantity A is > Quantity B.
For x=5, quantity A is < Quantity B.
Ans D.
Quantity A: 44
Quantity B: x(x+5)
For x=4.1, Quantity A is > Quantity B.
For x=5, quantity A is < Quantity B.
Ans D.
