Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To solve the equation, we can first simplify the left side of the equation by dividing 2 by 6:

2/6 x + 10 = -9
1/3 x + 10 = -9

Next, we can isolate the x term by subtracting 10 from both sides:

1/3 x + 10 - 10 = -9 - 10
1/3 x = -19

To solve for x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 3:

3 * (1/3 x) = -19 * 3
x = -57

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -57.

To solve the equation, we can first simplify the left side of the equation by dividing 2 by 9:

2/9 x + 10 = -9

Next, we can isolate the x term by subtracting 10 from both sides:

2/9 x = -9 - 10

2/9 x = -19

To solve for x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 9/2 (which is the reciprocal of 2/9):

(9/2) * (2/9 x) = -19 * (9/2)

x = -19 * (9/2)

x = -171/2

Thus, the solution to the equation is x = -171/2, or -85.5.

Answer 4

[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

To solve the linear equation 2/6x + 10 = -9, you can follow these steps:

Step 1: Subtract 10 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with x:
2/6x + 10 - 10 = -9 - 10
2/6x = -19

Step 2: Simplify the left side of the equation:
2/6x simplifies to 1/3x, so we have:
1/3x = -19

Step 3: Multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 1/3, which is 3/1 or simply 3:
(1/3x) * 3 = -19 * 3
(x/1) = -57

Step 4: Simplify the right side of the equation:
x = -57

Therefore, the solution to the given linear equation is x = -57.

Answer 5

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To solve the linear equation 2/6 x + 10 = -9, we need to isolate the variable x.

Step 1: Subtract 10 from both sides of the equation:
2/6 x + 10 - 10 = -9 - 10
2/6 x = -19

Step 2: Multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 2/6, which is 6/2 (or simply 3):
(6/2) * (2/6) x = (-19) * (6/2)
3x = -38

Step 3: Divide both sides of the equation by 3 to solve for x:
(3x)/3 = (-38)/3
x = -38/3

Thus, the solution to the linear equation 2/6 x + 10 = -9 is x = -38/3.
