Question #8d220

Answer 1

`x = -1/4`

Explanation:

If I understand the question, the problem is

`(x-2)/3 = 3x`

Multiply both sides by 3.

`3 * (x-2)/3 = 3 * 3x`

`cancel3 * (x-2)/cancel3 = 3 * 3x`

`color(white)(a^2)x-2=9x`
`-xcolor(white)(aa^2aa)-xcolor(white)(aaa)`Subtract x from both sides

`-2 = 8x`

`(-2)/8 = (8x)/8color(white)(aaa)`Divide both sides by 8

`-1/4 = x`
