(1)/(3)\cdot(9x-36)=-9

Multiply all the expression by 3:


9x-36=-27\rightarrow9x=-27+36\rightarrow x=(9)/(9)\rightarrow x=1

Then, the answer to this equation is 1.

We can check the answer by substituting the value of the result in the original

equation:


(1)/(3)\cdot(9\cdot(1)-36)=-9\rightarrow(1)/(3)\cdot(-27)=-9\rightarrow-9=-9

In the end, we finally have that the answer was correct (-9 = -9).
