Solve the equation using inverse operations. 1/3x=−9 (1 point) x=

1 answer

To solve the equation using inverse operations, we need to isolate the variable x by undoing each operation.

1/3x = -9

To undo the multiplication by 1/3, we need to multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 1/3, which is 3/1 or 3:

3/1 * (1/3x) = 3/1 * (-9)
(x/1) = -27

Therefore, x = -27.
