Question

51- ax= - 10296(Type an integer or a simplified

Answer 1

We have the following expression given:

`-(5)/(6)x-(1)/(9)x=-102`

We can start finding the LCM between 6 and 9 and we can do this:

6= 3*2

9= 3*3

So then LCM = 3*2*3= 18

And w can solve the division on this way:

`-(3\cdot5+2\cdot1)/(18)x=-(17)/(18)x=-102`

Now we can multiply both sides of the equation by -18 and we got:

17x = -102 *(-18)

17 x= 1836

And dividing both sides by 17 we got:

x = 1836/17= 108

Then the final answer would be x= 108
