Question

For what value of a does 9 equal 1/27 a + 3​

Answer 1

a = 162.

Explanation:

1/27 a + 3 = 9

1/27 a = 9 - 3 = 6

Multiply both sides by 27:

a = 6 * 27

a = 162.

Answer 2

a = 162

Explanation:

9 = 1/27 a +3

Subtract 3 from each side

9-3 = 1/27 a +3-3

6 = 1/27 a

Multiply each side by 27

6*27 = 1/27 a *27

162 = a
