Question

Solve for x:

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

−24

−12

11

12

Answer 1

x=12

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

-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.
