Question

What is the solution to the equation x/3 = 9 x=

Answer 1

27

Explanation:

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

In order to solve for x, we need to undo the operations. Because x is being divided, we need to multiply both sides by the same number that x is being divided by to find x.

`(x)/(3) (3)=9(3)\\x=27`

Answer 2

x = 27

Explanation:

x/3 = 9

Multiply both sides by 3

x/3 * 3 ( the 3's cancel out and we're left with x )

9 * 3 = 27

We're left with x = 27
