Solve the equation.
x/5 + 9 = 4
A. 65
B. –25
C. 5
D. 20
I think its B
x/5 + 9 = 4
x/5 = -5
Multiply both sides by 5 and solve for x.
actually I think its C
its B
crap your right, thanks sue
You're welcome.
we all could learn a thing or two from ms.sue
To solve the equation x/5 + 9 = 4, you can follow these steps:
1. Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with x: x/5 = 4 - 9.
2. Simplify the right side of the equation: x/5 = -5.
3. To get rid of the fraction, multiply both sides of the equation by 5: 5 * (x/5) = 5 * (-5).
4. Simplify both sides of the equation: x = -25.
Therefore, the solution to the equation x/5 + 9 = 4 is x = -25. So your answer, B. -25, is correct.
