Question

50 points What is the value of x?

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=-\frac{38}{9}$

The alternatives are not right.

Just take:

$27(x+4)=-6 \implies 27 \left(-\frac{38}{9} +4\right)=-6 \implies 27 \left(-\frac{38}{9} +\frac{36}{9} \right)=-6$

$27 \left(-\frac{2}{9} \right)=-6 \implies -\frac{54}{9}=-6 \implies -6=-6$

Step-by-step explanation:

$27(x+4)=-6$

$27x+108=-6$

$27x=-6-108$

$27x=-114$

$x=\frac{-114}{27}$

$x=\frac{-114}{27}$

Multiply denominator and numerator by $\frac{1}{3}$.

$x=-\frac{38}{9}$
