Question

Solve the equation. -x/3=27

Answer 1

x=-81

Explanation:

Multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to eliminate the fraction on the left side.

`-x/3(3)=27(3)`

`-x=81`

Divide both sides by -1 to isolate x on the left side of the equation

`-x/-1=81/-1\\x=-81\\`

Answer 2

x = - 81.

Explanation:

Given :
`(-x)/(3) = 27`.

To find : solve the equation.

Solution: We have given

`(-x)/(3) = 27`.

On multiplying both sides by 3

-x = 27*3.

On dividing both sides by -1.

x = - 81.

Therefore, x = - 81.
