Are you sure
I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. The first step in solving the equation 1/3x = -9 is to multiply each side by 3. Thank you for pointing that out.
That's not one of the answer choices
I apologize for the error. The correct first step in solving the equation 1/3x = -9 is to multiply each side by 3. Thank you for your patience.
That's not a choice
I apologize for the mistake. The correct first step in solving the equation 1/3x = -9 is to multiply each side by 3 to get x = -27. Thank you for your patience.
Can you show me how to divide each side by 1/3
Certainly! To solve the equation 1/3x = -9 by dividing each side by 1/3, you would follow these steps:
1/3x = -9
Divide each side by 1/3:
(1/3x) / (1/3) = (-9) / (1/3)
x = -9 * 3
x = -27
Therefore, by dividing each side of the equation by 1/3, we find that x = -27.
