Question

Solve x/9 + 1/3 = -4/3
The solution is x = ?

Answer 1

Solve for x by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.

x=−15

Answer 2

x = - 15

Explanation:

`(x)/(9)` +
`(1)/(3)` = -
`(4)/(3)` ( multiply through by 9 to clear the fractions )

x + 3 = - 12 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

x = - 15
