why not use real math?

(x-6)/3 - (x-27)/9 = 3
x=9

or, since you are careless with parentheses,

(x-6)/(3-x) - 27/9 = 3
x = 24/7

I suspect the first one was your intention. Use parentheses to make things clear.

And lose all those useless words! This is math!

what useless words
Answered by brenda
i got :

x-6x9/3-x-27x9/9=3x9
=18x--27x=27
=-45x =27
=-45x/-45=27/-45
=x=-o.6

is it correct?
Answered by Steve
I have no idea how to read your text. Is x a variable or a multiplication operator?

Online we usually use * for multiplication.

-- is not an operator I know.

You would do well to read some other math postings to see how expressions are written. Yours is gibberish.
