Question

Hey guys can you help me
solve equation x-1/9=2? Thanks

Answer 1

x=2 and 1/9

Answer 2

yeah that what i was thinking but it shows that you can choose from 18, 17, 12 and 19

Answer 3

no problem all you had to do was add 1/9 to the other side of the equation and cancel it out on the side that it was on :)

Answer 4

so what is the answer? :)

Answer 5

is this
\[ \frac{x-1}{9}=2 \]?

Answer 6

yeah :)phi

Answer 7

multiply both sides by 9
what do you get?

Answer 8

\[ 9 \cdot \frac{x-1}{9}= 2 \cdot 9\]

Answer 9

so the answer is 17

Answer 10

Thank You both :)

Answer 11

answer is 19!! as phil showed if x-1 = 18 then x = 19 not 17

Answer 12

you can always try to check the answer by subbing in for x in the original equation

(x-1)/9 with x=19 gives us (19-1)/9 or 18/9 or 2
