Answer:
x = 27
Step-by-step explanation:
I made ‘3’ into 9/3
x/3 – 9/3 = x/9 + 9/3
convert terms to fractions with a denominator of 9
x/3 = 3x/9
9/3 = 27/9
3x/9 – 27/9 = x/9 + 27/9
(3x-27)/9 = (x+27)/9
since each denominator equals 9 we can set the numerators equal to each other:
3x – 27 = x + 27
3x = x + 54
2x = 54
x = 27
