a/ 157 - 9.(7x + 3) = 69
9.(7x + 3) = 157 - 69
9.(7x + 3) = 88
7x + 3 = 88 :9
7x + 3 = \(\frac{88}{9}\)
7x = \(\frac{88}{9}\) - 3
7x = \(\frac{61}{9}\)
x = \(\frac{61}{9}\) : 7 = \(\frac{61}{9}\) . \(\frac{1}{7}\) = \(\frac{61}{63}\)
b) 2x + 4x + 6x + ... + 100.x = 7650
x.(2 + 4 + 6 + ... + 100) = 7650
x.2550 = 7650
x = 7650 : 2550
x = 3
