Question

Select the correct answer to the following equation: 27x34−1=26(1 point) Responses 1 1 0 3 25/27

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 27x34 - 1 = 26 \):

1. First, isolate the term with \( x \):
\[
27x34 = 26 + 1
\]
\[
27x34 = 27
\]

2. Next, divide both sides by 27:
\[
x34 = 1
\]

3. Now, divide by 34:
\[
x = \frac{1}{34}
\]

It looks like none of the provided responses directly match \( \frac{1}{34} \), so let's analyze the potential responses in the context of the equation.

Given the responses:
- 1
- 0
- 3
- 25/27

None of these are equal to \( x \).

However, we can reevaluate if there were any different interpretations of the equation \( 27x34-1 = 26 \). It is possible that our operations or interpretations were slightly off based on the phrasing or context.

Ultimately, based on the given responses, if we had to select the closest numerical value based on fraction or simple evaluation, \( \frac{25}{27} \) would float close to \( 1 \) but does not solve the equation shown.

If there are any nuances in the question, please let me know or confirm the equation to ensure precise evaluation. But with current calculation interpretations, \( x = 1/34 \), which isn't provided as an option.
