Answer:
x = (-27)/11
Explanation:
Solve for x:
(-11 x)/54 - 1/2 = 0
Put each term in (-11 x)/54 - 1/2 over the common denominator 54: (-11 x)/54 - 1/2 = (-27)/54 - (11 x)/54:
(-27)/54 - (11 x)/54 = 0
(-27)/54 - (11 x)/54 = (-11 x - 27)/54:
(-11 x - 27)/54 = 0
Multiply both sides of (-11 x - 27)/54 = 0 by 54:
(54 (-11 x - 27))/54 = 54×0
(54 (-11 x - 27))/54 = 54/54×(-11 x - 27) = -11 x - 27:
-11 x - 27 = 54×0
0×54 = 0:
-11 x - 27 = 0
Add 27 to both sides:
(27 - 27) - 11 x = 27
27 - 27 = 0:
-11 x = 27
Divide both sides of -11 x = 27 by -11:
(-11 x)/(-11) = 27/(-11)
(-11)/(-11) = 1:
x = 27/(-11)
Multiply numerator and denominator of 27/(-11) by -1:
Answer:x = (-27)/11
