Question

27x = 9x − 4

x = 8
x = 4
x = −4
x = −8

Answer 1

We have linear equation

`27x=9x-4`

Start by subtracting term
`9x` from both sides to get

`18x=-4`

Then divide both sides of the equality by
`18` to obtain

`x=-(4)/(18)`

Then simplify the result

`x=-(2)/(9)`

So the answer is
`-(2)/(9)`.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

x = -2/9

Explanation:

27x = 9x − 4

Subtract 9x from each side

27x-9x = 9x-9x − 4

18x = -4

Divide each side by 18

18x/18 = -4/18

x = -4/18

Divide the top and bottom by 2

x = -2/9
