Hi Vanessa
3x -1/9 (27) =18
3x - 27/9 =18
3x- 3 =18
Add 3 to both sides
3x-3+3=18+3
3x=21
Divide both sides by 3
3x/3= 21/3
x= 7
The value of x is 7
Now let's check if my answer is correct
To check it we gonna replace x by 7 and 27 for y
(3)(7) -1/9 (27) = 18
21 -1/9 (27)=18
21- 27/9 = 18
21- 3 = 18
18 = 18
The answer is good and I hope its help:0
The answer would be a positive 15.1 or +15.1 because the positive number is greater than the negative which would make your answer positive, thats why you got it wrong :)
The answer is 0.15290519877
Answer:
There are 40 problems on the test
Step-by-step explanation:
Let p = the number of problems on the test
The number of problems on the test times the percent correct is the number correct
p * 85% = 34
p * .85 = 34
Divide each side by .85
p * .85/.85 = 34/.85
p = 40
There are 40 problems on the test
