Question

1/3( 5x - 9) = 2( 1/3x + 6) what is x?

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

→Distribute the $\frac{1}{3}$ to (5x - 9), and the 2 to $(\frac{1}{3} x + 6)$:

$\frac{1}{3}$(5x - 9) = 2( $\frac{1}{3}x$ + 6)

$\frac{5}{3}x$ + 3 = $\frac{2}{3}x$+ 12

→Subtract $\frac{2}{3}x$ from both sides:

x + 3 = 12

→Subtract 3 from both sides:

x = 9
