State whether the statements are true (T) or false (F). (9x – 51) ÷ 9 is x – 51.

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Solving (9x – 51) ÷ 9,

(9x – 51) ÷ 9 = (9x – 51)/9

9 divides the term 9x but does not divide 51.

So, the answer comes out to be (9x – 51)/9.

(9x – 51)/9 ≠ x – 51

Hence, the statement is false.
