Question 622128
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


Not sure what you mean.


If you meant for there to be two different variables, i.e. *[tex \LARGE X] and *[tex \LARGE x] are NOT, under any circumstances except typographical errors or poor penmanship, the same thing.


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \frac{X}{9}\ +\ 3\ =\ \frac{x}{9}]


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ X\ +\ 27\ =\ x]


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ x\ -\ X\ =\ 27]


is the best that can be done.  On the other hand if you meant


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \frac{x}{9}\ +\ 3\ =\ \frac{x}{9}]


Then you have an impossible situation.  A thing cannot simultaneously be itself and 3 more than itself.  No solution.

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
