Answer:

Explanation:
Let's begin writing down everything
(X×(-11)+5)×(-9)+X-55
Now we can multiply
-9(-11X+5)+X-55
99X-45+X-55
And so we get
100X-100
Factorize 100
100(x-1)
Answer:
4.5 is a rational number, as it can be represented as 9/2. Many important numbers in mathematics, however, are irrational, and cannot be written as ratios.
For this problem, I'd use cross-multiplication.
9/12 = x/8.
When cross multiplying, multiply 12*x and 9*8. This leads to a new equation:
12x = 72.
Then you solve as an algebra problem.
*Divide 12 on both sides*
x = 6.
