Hello There!

X=9

If we substitute X in this equation, it would say 3*9 which equals 27 subtract 6 and you get 21 which is true.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$3x-6=21\qquad\text{add 6 to both sides}\\\\3x-6+6=21+6\\\\3x=27\qquad\text{divide both sides by 3}\\\\\dfrac{3x}{3}=\dfrac{27}{3}\\\\x=9$

If a:b =2:3 write b as a fraction of a

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

given ,

$\fbox{a:b = 2:3}$

According to Question ,

we've to write b as a fraction of a.

thus , we know that

$a:b = \frac{a}{b} \\ \\ \dashrightarrow{2:3 = \frac{2}{3} }$

now to represent b as a fraction of a ,

we'll have to consider the ratio as b : a

which means ,

$b:a = inverse \: of \: a:b \\ \dashrightarrow{ b:a = \frac{b}{a} = \frac{3}{2} }$
