Question

(1-9x) /(17-3x) = 7/8​

Answer 1

Answer:

(1 - 9x) / (17 - 3x) = 7/8

» 8 - 72x = 119 - 21x

» - 51x = 111

» x = -111/51

Answer 2

Simplifying

3x + 7 = 9x + 17

Reorder the terms:

7 + 3x = 9x + 17

Reorder the terms:

7 + 3x = 17 + 9x

Solving

7 + 3x = 17 + 9x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-9x' to each side of the equation.

7 + 3x + -9x = 17 + 9x + -9x

Combine like terms: 3x + -9x = -6x

7 + -6x = 17 + 9x + -9x

Combine like terms: 9x + -9x = 0

7 + -6x = 17 + 0

7 + -6x = 17

Add '-7' to each side of the equation.

7 + -7 + -6x = 17 + -7

Combine like terms: 7 + -7 = 0

0 + -6x = 17 + -7

-6x = 17 + -7

Combine like terms: 17 + -7 = 10

-6x = 10

Divide each side by '-6'.

x = -1.666666667

Simplifying

x = -1.666666667

this is not the answer of question
