Question

What is -9x-(2x/-3) When x equals 7

Answer 1

`-9x- (2x)/(-3)`


`-9*(7) - (2*7)/(-3)`


`9*7 = 63`


`(2*7)/(-3) = (14)/(-3)`

Apply the fraction rule :
`(a)/(-b) = - (a)/(b)`


`= - (14)/(3)`


`-63-( -(14)/(3) )`

Apply rule - ( - a) = a


`-63+ (14)/(3)`

Convert element to fraction :


`63 = (63)/(1)`


`-(63)/(1) + (14)/(3)`

Find the LCD 1*3 = 3


`- (63*3)/(3)+ (14)/(3)`


`(-3+63+14)/(3) = (-175)/(3)`

Apply the fraction rule :
`(a)/(-b) = - (a)/(b)`


`= - (175)/(3)`

hope this helps!
