If y = 1/3 x - 1 What is the value of y if x=9?

Answer 1

y = 1/3x -1

if x = 9

y = 1/27-1 = - 26/27

unless you really meant to write y = (1/3)x -1

then

y = (1/3)9 - 1 = 3-1 = 2

My guess is you really want 2 for the answer

but as written, -26/27 would be correct, mathematically correct but MC hasn't caught on as much as PC, An indictment of our American educational system, as Cooper said about Zack when he thought the comic store owner was getting rich on a few cents per hour
