Solve 4(x−9)=4(9+1/3x).

Answer 1

27

Explanation:

4(x−9)=4(9+1/3x)

4x-36=36+(4/3)*x

(12/3)*x-36=36+(4/3)*x

(8/3)*x=72

8x=216

x=27

Answer 2

x = 27

Explanation:

4(x−9)=4(9+1/3x).

Divide each side by 4

(x−9)=(9+1/3x)

Subtract 1/3 x from each side

x - 1/3x -9 = 9+1/3x -1/3x

2/3x -9 = 9

Add 9 to each side

2/3x -9+9 = 9+9

2/3x = 18

Multiply each side by 3/2

3/2 * 2/3x = 18*3/2

x = 27
