Question

Use the equation below to answer the question.

(1/3) – ÷ 27 = x
Which equation could be solved to also find x?
A. –27 × 3 = x
B. –27 ÷ 3 = x
C. –1 ÷ (27 ÷ 3) = x
D. –1 ÷ (27 × 3) = x

Answer 1

The given equation is:

(1/3) – ÷ 27 = x

We can simplify it as follows:

(1/3) - (1/27) = x

8/27 = x

So, the value of x is 8/27.

We can substitute this value of x in each equation to see which one gives a true statement.

A. -27 × 3 = -81 ≠ 8/27

B. -27 ÷ 3 = -9 ≠ 8/27

C. -1 ÷ (27 ÷ 3) = -1/9 ≠ 8/27

D. -1 ÷ (27 × 3) = -1/81 ≠ 8/27

Therefore, none of the given equations could be solved to find x.
