Question

Solve the equation: 9 (x − 9)−3 = −4 (2x + 4) 4 -4 100 68

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying BODMAS here;

We first solve what is in the brackets:

9x - 81 -3 = -8x - 16

We then put the like terms together:

9x + 8x = -16 + 81 + 3

We then do the addition:

17x = -16 + 84

We then do the subtraction:

17x = 68

Simplifying this gives:

x = $\frac{68}{17}$ = 4
