(-3/2)x - 9 = - 27 solve for x

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

(-3 x)/2 - 9 = -27

Put each term in (-3 x)/2 - 9 over the common denominator 2: (-3 x)/2 - 9 = (-18)/2 - (3 x)/2:

(-18)/2 - (3 x)/2 = -27

(-18)/2 - (3 x)/2 = (-3 x - 18)/2:

(-3 x - 18)/2 = -27

Multiply both sides of (-3 x - 18)/2 = -27 by 2:

(2 (-3 x - 18))/2 = -27×2

(2 (-3 x - 18))/2 = 2/2×(-3 x - 18) = -3 x - 18:

-3 x - 18 = -27×2

2 (-27) = -54:

-3 x - 18 = -54

Add 18 to both sides:

(18 - 18) - 3 x = 18 - 54

18 - 18 = 0:

-3 x = 18 - 54

18 - 54 = -36:

-3 x = -36

Divide both sides of -3 x = -36 by -3:

(-3 x)/(-3) = (-36)/(-3)

(-3)/(-3) = 1:

x = (-36)/(-3)

The gcd of -36 and -3 is -3, so (-36)/(-3) = (-3×12)/(-3×1) = (-3)/(-3)×12 = 12:

Answer:  x = 12

There is a mound of g pounds of gravel in a quarry. Throughout the day, 300 pounds of gravel are added to the mound. Two orders
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

g+300-700-700=1500, g=2600

Step-by-step explanation:

At the start of the day there are g pounds of gravel in the quarry.

Then it says that there were 300 pounds added to the mound, so at this point the pounds of gravel in the mound are now g+300.

Then two orders of 700 pounds are sold and removed from the mound. That means they removed 700 pounds from the mound 2 times. Therefore at this point the pounds of gravel in the mound are now g+300-700-700.

Then it says that at this point, the amount of pounds in the mound are 1500.  Hence we get

g+300-700-700=1500

To solve for g we just add 700 two times to both sides of the equation, and subtract 300 from both sides of the equation, getting:

g+300-700-700+700+700-300=1500+700+700-300

And so g=2600
