HURRY PLEASE!!!

Answer 1

27/2

Step-by-step explanation: 6*(n-9)=27 Distribute 6(n-9)=27 6n-54=27 add 54 to both side of the equation 6n-54+54=27+54 simplify (add the numbers) 6n=81 divide both sides of the equation by the same term 6n/6=81/6 simplify (cancel terms that are both the numerator and the denominator) (divide the numbers) n=27/2 or 13.5

Answer 2

13.5

Explanation:

If x is the number,

then, 6(x-9) =27

x-9 = 4.5
