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
