How do I solve this equation?

Question

2/3*(x-9)=3/4

Could someone please guide me step by step how to solve it.

Answer 1

Assume:-
(2/3) (x - 9) = 3 / 4
8 (x - 9) = 9
8 x - 72 = 9
8 x = 81
x = 81 / 8

However it may be that you mean:-
2 / ( 3 (x - 9) ) = 3 / 4
18 = 9(x - 9)
x - 9 = 2
x = 11 (which looks more likely)

PS
Questions are meaningless without brackets.
You will notice from the answers received that lack of brackets leads to chaos!!!

Answer 2

I'm no expert, but...
To isolate the variable (x-9): divide both sides of the equation by 2/3. 3/4 divided by 2/3 (invert and multply rule) = 3/4 times 3/2 = 9/8 = 1-1/8.
This leaves:
x-9= 1-1/8
Add 9 to both sides.
x=10-1/8 or 10.125

Answer 3

2/3*(x-9)=3/4
First multiply each side by 3/2:
x - 9 = 9 / 8
Add 9 to each side
x = 9 + 9/8 = 10.125 = 10 and (1/8)

Answer 4

2/3*(x-9)=3/4
(x-9)=3/4)(3/2)
x-9=9/8
x=9+9/8
=81/8 ANS.

Answer 5

2/3*(x-9)=3/4
or 2*4=3*3*(x-9)---By cross multipication
or 8=9(x-9)
or 9(x-9)=8
or 9x-81=8
or 9x=8+81
or 9x=89
or x=89/8 ans

Answer 6

you need to find what x is. 2/3*(x-9)=3/4
so what - 9 times 2/3 = 3/4.



thats all i can say hope it helps
