\[\frac{ (x+3) }{ (9x) } = 3\]
OpenStudy (photon336):
what do you think the first step should be?
OpenStudy (britbrat1997):
get the 3 over to the other side.
OpenStudy (photon336):
okay see that 9x term?
OpenStudy (photon336):
the first thing we can do is to multiply both sides by 9x to eliminate the 9x in the denominator.
\[ 9x*\frac{ (x+3) }{ (9x) } = 3*9x\]
\[(x+3) = 27x\]
make sense?

OpenStudy (britbrat1997):
okay so then you subtract 1x from 27x then divide?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes.
OpenStudy (britbrat1997):
1/9=x?
OpenStudy (photon336):
@Britbrat1997 show each step :)
(x+3) = 27x
-x -x
now what do we do?
3 = 26x
OpenStudy (britbrat1997):
3/26
x=3/26 or .1153

you can keep it in a fraction
OpenStudy (britbrat1997):
okay thank you.
OpenStudy (photon336):
most important. do you get how I did this?
OpenStudy (britbrat1997):
yeah I do now
OpenStudy (photon336):
Try this problem and show me the answer
\[\frac{ x+2 }{ 12 } = 8x\]
