Question

What is x/9 − 1/3= −5/3

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable (x). Do the opposite of PEMDAS. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.

(x/9) - (1/3) = -5/3

x/9 -1/3 (+1/3) = -5/3 (+1/3)

x/9 = -4/3

Isolate the variable x. Multiply 9 to both sides.

(x/9)(9) = (-4/3)(9)

x = -36/3

Divide. Simplify the answer.

x = (-36/3) = -12

-12 is your answer.
