Question

x + 1/3 = 9
What does x represent?

Answer 1

okay, so try subtracting both sides by the same value, so that you can find what x equals

Answer 2

Subtract both sides? What do you mean?

Answer 3

In this case, you subtract 1/3 from both sides to make x equal the value

Answer 4

so simply,
x+ 1/3 = 9
Subtract 1/3 from both sides to cancel out 1/3
so it becomes x+ 1/3 -1/3 = 9-1/3
x+0= 9-1/3

Answer 5

so x+0 = x
And you just have to put in
x= 9-1/3 and solve

Answer 6

Simiplfly \[\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }\]

Answer 7

to calculate 9 - 1/3 , first convert 9 to 1/3's ( 9 = 27/3
so we have
27/3 - 1/3 = 26/3

Answer 8

@welshfella Isn't it 0 or 6.1?

Answer 9

how doyou get that?

Answer 10

26/3 = (27/3-1/3 ) - 26-3 = 0

Answer 11

thats incorrect

Answer 12

@MattDuhHelper I have assumed that the 3 in the question divides the 1 only. Thats the way it is written
I the 3 divides the x + 1 it should be written (x + 1) / 3 = 9
