Answer:
x = 14 .
_______________________________________________Step-by-step explanation:_____________________Method 1)_______________________9x / 7 = 18 ;
9x = 18 * 7 ;
Divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "9"; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x" ;
_____________________________ 9x / 9 =
18 * 7 ;
9_____________________________ x = 18 * 7 ; 9 _____________________________The "9" cancels out to a "1" ; and the "18" cancels to a "2" ;
since "18 ÷ 9 = 2" ; and "9 ÷ 9 = 1" ;
so rewrite as:
x =
= 2 * 7 = 14 .
→
x = 14 .
________________________________________Method 2)_________________________________________9x / 7 = 18 ;
9x = 18 * 7 ;
9x = 126 ;
Divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "9" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x" ;
______________________________________ 9x / 9 = 126 / 9 ;
______________________________________ x = 14 .
