Answer:
x= 54
Step-by-step explanation:
let the number be (x)
so One sixth of x will be 9
numerically,
1/6 × (x) =9
x= 9×6
x= 54
Given ↓
- The verbal phrase → one-sixth of a number is 9
To find ↓
- The algebraic expression of the verbal phrase
Calculations ↓
One-sixth can be written as [tex]^1/_6[/tex]
now, let the number be y
so one-sixth of y is written as
[tex]^1/_6~y~=~9[/tex]
If it's necessary to solve for y, consult the [Solving for y] section of this ans ↓
[Solving for y]
First we need to get rid of the fraction, one-sixth.
since in mathematics we can't just terminate fractions without altering the equation/expression itself, we need to perform an operation.
the first one is multiplication; we will multiply both sides of the equation by 6 (the denominator of the fraction)
[tex]^1/_6*6~y~=~9~*~6}[/tex]
On the left-hand side the 6's cancel, and we're left with
1 y = 9 * 6
Or
y = 9* 6
Which simplifies to :
y = 54
