Question

x/27 = 2/9 - 1/3

Answer 1

\(\dfrac{x}{27}=\dfrac{2}{9}-\dfrac{1}{3}\)

\(\dfrac{x}{27}=\dfrac{-1}{9}\)

\(x:27=\dfrac{-1}{9}\)

\(x=\dfrac{-1}{9}.27=\dfrac{-27}{9}=-3\)

Answer 2

x = -3

 

Answer 3

\(\dfrac{x}{27}=\dfrac{2}{9}-\dfrac{1}{3}\)

\(\dfrac{x}{27}=-\dfrac{1}{9}\)

\(x=\dfrac{\left(-1\right)\cdot27}{9}\)

\(x=-3\)
