23=79(6x-36)+9
23= 79(6x)+79(-36)+9
23=474x+ -2844+9
23=(474x)=(-2844+9)
23= 474x+ -2835
23= 474x-2835

Step 2: Flip the equation
474x-2835= 23

Step 3: Add 2835 to both sides
474x - 2835 = 23
+2835 +2835

474x=2858

Step 4: Divide both sides by 474

474x/474 = 2858/474

x=1429/237

Answer:

The value of the equation
x=(1429)/(237).

Explanation:

Consider the provided equation.


23=79(6x-36)+9

We need to solve the provided equation for x.

Subtract 9 from both side.


23-9=79(6x-36)+9-9


14=79(6x-36)

Divide both sides by 79.


(14)/(79)=6x-36

Add 36 to the both sides.


6x-36+36=(14)/(79)+36


6x=(14)/(79)+36


6x=(2858)/(79)

Divide both sides by 6.


x=(1429)/(237)

Hence, the value of the equation is
x=(1429)/(237).
