Question

Solve for x: negative 3 over 2, multiplied by x minus 9 equals negative 27 −24 −12 11 12 Btw please show the work bc i not only want the answer, i also want to understand it too

Answer 1

The answer is -24. First, add 9 to both sides to cancel it out; you get negative 3 over 2 equals 36. Then, you multiply both sides by negative 2 over 3 to cancel out the fraction and you get -24.

Answer 2

`\boxed{ x = 12}`

Explanation:

Given Equation is:

`(-3)/(2) (x) - 9 = -27`

Adding 9 to both sides

=>
`(-3x)/(2) = -27+9`

=>
`(-3x)/(2) = -18`

Multiplying 2 to both sides

=> -3x = -18 * 2

=> -3x = -36

Dividing both sides by -3

=> x = 12
