Answer:
[tex]x=22\frac{1}{2}=22.5[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]x-9=\frac{3}{5}x[/tex]
- First, lets get rid of the fraction. I did this by multiplying both sides by [tex]5[/tex].
[tex]5(x-9)=5(\frac{3}{5}x)\\5x-45=\frac{5}{1} *\frac{3}{5}x\\5x-45=\frac{15}{5}x\\5x-45=3x[/tex]
- We want to isolate [tex]x[/tex] on one side of this equation. Let's put any values with [tex]x[/tex] on one side of the equation, and normal integers on the other.
[tex]2x=45[/tex]
- Divide both sides by [tex]2[/tex].
[tex]x=\frac{45}{2}[/tex]
- If your teacher wants you to leave your final answer as an improper fraction, your final answer is this. If they want it to be a mixed number or decimal, your final answer will be:
[tex]x=22\frac{1}{2}=22.5[/tex]
