Question

What is the solution to the equation 9(x − 2) = 27? (1 point)

Answer 1

Explanation:

9(x-2)=27

9x+2=

27+2=29

29%9=3.2

Answer 2

5=x

Explanation:

First you use the distributive property. That will get you to: 9x+-18=27. Then you add 18 to both sides. The -18 will turn to 0. You will get: 9x=45. You want to get x by itself so you divide each side by 9. You will get x=5.
