9/10 times a number plus 6 is 51
First we put the sentence into a function9/10 x + 6= 51Well then we solve.9/10 x= 51-69/10x= 45(for me is easier to make the fraction into a decimal...)0.9x= 45x=45/0.9x= 50We check9/10 * 50 + 6= 5145+6=5151=51So the answer is x= 50
(9/10)X + 6 = 51Subtract 6 from both sides (Subtraction property of equality)(9/10)X = 45Divide by (9/10) (division property of equality)
The answer is : 50
