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
