Question

Solve the equation. 1 / 3X - 9 = -12

Answer 1

x=-9

Explanation:

Solve for X by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable. So, pretty much the other dude is right.

Answer 2

x=-9

Explanation

`(1)/(3)x-9=-12`

Step 1

add 9 in both sides

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(3)x-9=-12 \\ (1)/(3)x-9+9=-12+9 \\ (1)/(3)x=-3 \end{gathered}`

Step 2

multiply both sides by 3

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(3)x=-3 \\ (1)/(3)x\cdot3=-3\cdot3 \\ x=-9 \end{gathered}`
