Question

I need help with this equation. I need the work and check please.

Answer 1

3- (11x) = 9 + (5x)

 

+11x              +11x

---------------------------------

3           =  9 + 16x

-9               -9

-------------------------------

-6           =  16x 

÷16             ÷16

------------------------------------

-6/16       = x

 

-3/8    =   x

 

 

check answer

 

3- (11)(-3/8) = 9 + (5)(-3/8)

 

3+ (33/8) = 9 - (15/8)

 

(24/3) + (33/8) = (72/8) - (15/8)

 

57/8  =  57/8
