Question

2(x -9) = 9 divided ( - 1/3) what value of x makes the equation true
plsss help :)))

Answer 1

x = -9/2

Explanation:

1. Divide 9 by -1/3:

`(9)/(1)` ÷
`-(1)/(3)` =
`(9)/(1)` ·
`-(3)/(1)`

= -27

2. Divide both sides by 2:

2(x - 9) = -27

`(2(x-9))/(2) = (-27)/(2)`

(x - 9) =
`-(27)/(2)`

3. Add 9 to both sides:

x =
`-(9)/(2)`

(or 4.5 if you need it in decimal form)

hope this helps!
