Question

Find the value of $x$ : $3\left(\frac{x}{8}\right)-9=18$

• A. $72$
• B. $27$
• C. $\frac{72}{3}$
• D. $\frac{27}{3}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $72$

Given, $3\left(\frac{x}{8}\right)-9=18$

Adding $9$ to both sides we get.
$\Rightarrow 3\left(\frac{x}{8}\right)=18+9$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{27\times 8}{3}$ ...Multiply by $8$ and divide by $3$ on both sides

$\Rightarrow x=72$
