Answer 1

To simplify the expression \((\frac{1}{9} \cdot 9) \cdot x - 9\), we can first simplify \(\frac{1}{9} \cdot 9\).

1. Calculate \(\frac{1}{9} \cdot 9\): \[ \frac{1}{9} \cdot 9 = 1 \]

2. Now, substitute this back into the expression: \[ (1) \cdot x - 9 = x - 9 \]

Therefore, the expression \((\frac{1}{9} \cdot 9) \cdot x - 9\) simplifies to: \[ x - 9 \]

Thus, the equivalent expression is \(x - 9\).
