Answer 1

x = -⁷/9

Explanation:

`(9x - 8)/(3) = (9x - 3)/(2)`

Multiply both sides by 3

`(9x - 8)/(3)*3 = (9x - 3)/(2)*3`

`9x - 8 = (3(9x - 3))/(2)`

Multiply both sides by 2

`2(9x - 8) = (3(9x - 3))/(2)*2`

`2(9x - 8) = 3(9x - 3)`

`18x - 16 = 27x - 9`

Subtract 27 from each side

18x - 16 - 27x = 27x - 9 - 27x

-9x - 16 = -9

Add 16 to both sides

-9x - 16 + 16 = -9 + 16

-9x = 7

Divide both sides by -9

-9x/-9 = 7/-9

x = -⁷/9
