OpenStudy (across):

Yes.

Parth (parthkohli):

Wow.

Parth (parthkohli):

Another basic algebra problem? Isolate \(x\) and you got it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10-9x=17??

Parth (parthkohli):

That's almost correct; put a negative before 17.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then i subtract 9x from both sides??

Parth (parthkohli):

No, then you subtract 10 from both.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-9x=27??

OpenStudy (ajprincess):

it's 9x=27

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then the answer would be -3

OpenStudy (ajprincess):

no it will be 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):
