You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x divided by 9 + x-3 divided by 6 = 27
x%2F9%2B%28x-3%29%2F6=27 The LCD is 18, so you can clear your fractions by multiplying everything by 18.
18x%2F9%2B18%28x-3%29%2F6=18%2827%29
2x%2B3%28x-3%29=18%2827%29
2x%2B3x-9=486
5x-9=486
5x-9%2B9=486%2B9
5x=495
5x%2F5=495%2F5
highlight%28x=99%29
Check by letting x=99 and see if both sides of the equation are the same once you simplify.
99%2F9%2B%2899-3%29%2F6=27
11%2B96%2F6=27
11%2B16=27
27=27 We're right!!!
Happy Calculating!!!
