Is 5/4 a solution to the problem: 3(+9)=4−7+7.

No the soultion is not equal to 1 1/4

The solution to the given question is either 6 3/4 or  4 /27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

3(+9)=(4−7+7)x

27 = 4x

x= 27/4

x= 6 3/4  is the answer

or

Let

3(+9) x=(4−7+7)

27x = 4

x= 4/27

The plus sign inside the bracket indicates that 3 is multiplied with positive nine and -7 and +7 are cancelled and 4 is left behind.

If x is on the left side the answer will be 6 3/4  and if it is on the right side the answer is 4/27 .

In both cases the answer is not equal to 5/4 .

5/4 means 1 1/4 which is not equal to either 6 3/4 or 4/27

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b
