Question

Evaluate the expression shown for x = 9. -5/6 x +7

Answer 1

Answer:

$-\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given expression,

$-\frac{5}{6}x+7$

Put x = 9 in this expression,

$=-\frac{5}{6}(9) + 7$

$=-\frac{5(9)}{6} + 7$    $\because \frac{a}{b}\times c=\frac{ac}{b}$

$=-\frac{45}{6}+7$

$=\frac{-45+42}{6}$  ( adding fractions )

$=\frac{-3}{6}$

$=-\frac{1}{2}$

Answer 2

Substitute 9 for x in  -5/6 x +7
(-5/6) (9) + 7
Now solve
(-5/6) (9) + 7
-7.5 + 7 = -0.5

Your answer is -0.5 or -1/2
