Question

Solve the equation 3(1/6+9)=1/2−27.A.x = −54B.x = 0C.x = 54D.no solution

Answer 1

Given that,

To solve,

3(1/6+9)=1/2−27.

That is, To find the value of x

we get,

`3\mleft((1)/(6)+9\mright)=(1)/(2)-27.`
`(3)/(6)x+27=(1)/(2)x-27`

we get,

`(1)/(2)x+27=(1)/(2)x-27`
`(1)/(2)x-(1)/(2)x+27=-27`
`27=-27`

Since the x term is got cancelled, There is no solution for this equation.

Answer is: option D: no solution.
