Solve for x. In the equation 9x +1/3= x-13

Sagot :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

9x+[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]=x-13

9x*3+1/3=x-13

27x+1/3=x-13

27x+1=3(x-13)

27x+1=3x-39

27x-3x=-39-1

24x=-40

x=-5/3

x=-5/3

Answer:

x = - [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

9x + [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] = x - 13 ( multiply through by 3 to clear the fraction )

27x + 1 = 3x - 39 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

24x + 1 = - 39 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

24x = - 40 ( divide both sides by 24 )

x = [tex]\frac{-40}{24}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex]
