993 = x77 I will try to solve your equation. 33= 0.012987x (Simplify both sides of the equation) 33+ − 0.012987012987012988x = 0.012987x + − 0.012987012987012988x (Add -0.012987012987012988x to both sides) − 0.012987x +33 =0 − 0.012987x +33 + −33 = 0+ −33 (Add -33 to both sides) − 0.012987x = −33 ( − 0.012987x ) ( −0.012987012987012988 ) = ( −33 ) ( −0.012987012987012988 )
(Divide both sides by -0.012987012987012988) x= 2541
ANSWER: 99/3=2541/77 OR x=2541
