Question

Solve for x:

negative 3 over 2, multiplied by x minus 9 equals negative 27

−24

−12

11

12

Answer 1

-3x/2 - 9 = -27
-3x/2 = -27 + 9
-3x/2 = -18
-3x = -18 * 2
-3x = -36
x = 36/3
x = 12

*negative thirty-six turned into negative thirty-six over three, but since both numbers were negative, we had to make it positive in order to simplify, so that's why the answer is twelve, and not negative twelve.

Answer 2

Answer:

x=12

Hope this helps :)
