Solve the equation using inverse operations.

Question

1/3x=−9
(1 point)
x=

Answer 1

To solve the equation using inverse operations, we need to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation.

Starting with the equation:

(1/3)x = -9

First, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to eliminate the fraction:

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

This simplifies to:

x = -27

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -27.
