2/3(x-9)= -11 What is the answer for X

Mathematics
2 answers:
Yanka [14]4 years ago

Answer:

X= -7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolate the variable.

The first step would be to distribute the 2/3 to the x and -9 and you get 2/3 x -6 = -11. Then you add 6 to both sides, equaling to 2/3x = -5. The second to last step would be multiplying both sides by 3 canceling out the fraction on the left ; the equation would be 2x = -15. The final step is to divide both sides by the variable (2x) and therefore x equals -15/2 or -7.5 .

Answer:

x = -  \frac{15}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{2}{3}(x - 9) = - 11

Multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction

2(x - 9) = - 33 ← distribute left side

2x - 18 = - 33 ( add 18 to both sides )

2x = - 15 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = - \frac{15}{2}

Explain how to decide which is a better value. 4 greeting cards for $10 and 6 greeting cards for $14.
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

I dont know if this is supposed to be solved a certain way for a class, but as a bargain shopper, this is what I would do to figure out the best value.

Step-by-step explanation:

First divide $10 by 4:   10.00/4=2.5 or $2.50 per card

Then, divide $14 by 6:  14.00/6=2.3333333 so about $2.33 per card

Now, just look at the two answers and see which one is less.

If you buy 4 cards for $10, you will pay $2.50 for each card and if you buy 6 cards for $14, you will pay about $2.33 for each card. Therefore, the better value would be the 6 cards for $14.
