Answer:

x = 9.7

Step-by-step explanation:

2.7x -9 = x +7.5

2.7x - x = 7.5 + 9

1.7x = 16.5

x = 16.5/1.7

x = 9.7

Answer:

x = 9.70588

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>

2.7x - 9 = x + 7.5

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Subtract <em>x</em> on both sides:                    1.7x - 9 = 7.5
  2. Add 9 on both sides:                           1.7x = 16.5
  3. Divide 1.7 on both sides:                     x = 9.70588

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Substitute in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                    2.7(9.70588) - 9 = 9.70588 + 7.5
  2. Multiply:                               26.2059 - 9 = 9.70588 + 7.5
  3. Subtract/Add:                      17.2059 = 17.2059

Here we see that 17.2059 does indeed equal 17.2059.

∴ x = 9.70588 is a solution of the equation.

|n/2 − 1/3| −1= 1/6

1. n/2-1/3-1=1/6
n/2=1/6+1/3+1
n/2=1/6+2/6+6/6
n/2=9/6=3/2
n=3/2*2=3

check: abs(3/2-1/3)-1=1/6,    abs(9/6-2/6)-1= 1/6, 7/6-1=1/6, 1/6 =1/6 
3 is a root

2. -(n/2-1/3)-1=1/6
-n/2+1/3-1=1/6
-n/2-2/3=1/6
-n/2=1/6+2/3
-n/2=1/6+4/6
-n/2=5/6
n=-2*5/6=-5/3=-1 2/3  
check :    abs((-5/3)/2-1/3) -1=1/6
abs(-5/6-1/3) -1 =1/6,     abs(-5/6-2/6) -1=1/6, abs (-7/6)-1=1/6,  7/6-1=1/6, 1/6=1/6
so -5/3 or -1 2/3  is also root

so  two roots 3 and -5/3(that can be written as -1 2/3)
