Question

5 Write an equation for each of the following and solve it. (a) The sum of one-sixth ofx and -9 is -25.​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\bf\: Equation \rightarrow \frac{1}{6}*x - 9 = - 25}$

$\huge\boxed{\bf\: Solution \rightarrow - 96}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the variable as 'x'.

Let's breakdown the given statement.

• ⅙th of x =⅙*x
• The sum of ⅙*x & - 9 = ⅙*x + (-9)
• Is equal to = ⅙*x + (-9) = - 25

Given equation,

⅙*x - 9 = - 25

By solving,

⅙*x - 9 = - 25

⅙*x = - 25 + 9

⅙*x = - 16

x = - 16 * 6

x = $\boxed{\bf\: - 96}$

Answer 2

Answer:

x= -96

Step-by-step explanation:

1

$\frac{x}{6} + ( - 9) = - 25 \\ \frac{x}{6 } = - 25 - ( - 9) \\ \\ \frac{x}{6} = - 25 + 9 \\ \frac{x}{6} = - 16 \\ x = - 16 \times 6 \\ x = - 96$
