Question

2/3x - 9 = 6explain work

Answer 1

Here, we are to solve for the value of x in the given euation;

2/(3x-9) = 6

We can solve this by making a cross multiplication

2/(3x-9) = 6/1

The cross-multiplication would yield;

2 * 1 = 6 * (3x-9)

2 = 6(3x-9)

opening the bracket, we have

2 = 18x - 54

Collect like terms;

54 + 2 = 18x

18x = 56

divide both sides by 18

18x/18 = 56/18

x = 28/9

x = 3 1/9
