Question

27x = 9x − 4

x = 8
x = 4
x = −4
x = −8

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

27x = 9x − 4

Subtract 9x from each side

27x-9x = 9x-9x − 4

18x = -4

Divide each side by 18

18x/18 = -4/18

x = -4/18

Divide the top and bottom by 2

x = -2/9

Answer 2

We have linear equation

$27x=9x-4$

Start by subtracting term $9x$ from both sides to get

$18x=-4$

Then divide both sides of the equality by $18$ to obtain

$x=-\dfrac{4}{18}$

Then simplify the result

$x=-\dfrac{2}{9}$

So the answer is $-\dfrac{2}{9}$.

Hope this helps.
