a over 5 -2 =9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a/3=9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so.....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a/3 = 9 \[\frac{a}{5-2}=9\] \[\frac{a}3=9\] \[a=9*3\] \[a=27\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does it matter if the problem isn't written exactly like that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how is it written

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like its a over 5 but the -2 is on the side of it not by the 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then it matters

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then the answer should be 55

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a/5 - 2=9 a/5=11 a=55

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok haha
