Answer 1

Given:

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

Let's evaluate and solve for x.

First step:

Add 1/3 to both sides of the equation

`\begin{gathered} (4)/(3)(x)-(1)/(3)+(1)/(3)=9+(1)/(3) \\ \\ (4)/(3)(x)=(28)/(3) \end{gathered}`

Cross multiply:

`\begin{gathered} 4x(3)\text{ = 28(3)} \\ \\ 12x\text{ = }84 \end{gathered}`

Divide both sides by 12:

`\begin{gathered} (12x)/(12)=(84)/(12) \\ \\ x=7 \end{gathered}`

ANSWER:

x = 7
