Question

What is the solution to the equation below?​

Answer 1

x=-27

Explanation:

to understand this

you need to know about:

• equation
• PEMDAS

given:

• 
  `- 8 = (x)/(3) + 1`

to solve

• 
  `x`

let's solve:

`step - 2 : \\ rewrite`

`(x)/(3) + 1= - 8`

`step - 3 : \\ subtract \: 1 \: from \: both \: sides`

`(x)/(3) + 1 - 1 = - 8 - 1`

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

`step - 4 : \\ multiply \: both \: sides \: by \: 3`

`(x)/(3) * 3 = - 9 * 3`

`\huge \therefore x = - 27`
