Question

Solve the linear equation

8x-7/9=9x+x+1/9
2x+8/9= -x-6/3​

Answer 1

1) -(4/9)

2) -(26/27)

Explanation:

Are the equations written properly>

I see:

1) 8x - (7/9) = 9x + x + (1/9), and

2) 2x + (8/9) = -x -(6/3)

Let's simplify and rearrange each:

1) 8x - (7/9) = 9x + x + (1/9)

8x = 10x + (1/9) + (7/9)

-2x = (8/9)

x = -(8/9)*(1/2)

x = -(8/18) or -(4/9)

2. 2x + (8/9) = -x -(6/3)

2x + (8/9) = -x -(6/3)

3x = -(6/3) - (8/9)

3x = -(18/9) - (8/9)

3x = -(26/9)

x = -(26/9)(1/3)

x = -(26/27)
