( a ) 5x/2 - 9 = 0

1 answer

To solve the equation (5x/2) - 9 = 0, follow these steps:

1. Add 9 to both sides of the equation:
(5x/2) = 9

2. Multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of the fraction:
5x = 18

3. Divide both sides by 5 to solve for x:
x = 18/5

Therefore, the solution for the equation (5x/2) - 9 = 0 is x = 18/5.
