Responses

x=29a
x equals Start Fraction 29 over a End Fraction

x=−29a
x equals Start Fraction negative 29 over a End Fraction

x=a29
x equals Start Fraction a over 29 End Fraction

x=11a

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( ax - 9 = 20 \), first add 9 to both sides:

\[
ax = 20 + 9
\]
\[
ax = 29
\]

Next, divide both sides by \( a \) to solve for \( x \):

\[
x = \frac{29}{a}
\]

So the correct response is:

**x equals Start Fraction 29 over a End Fraction**.
