What minus 3/9 equals 3/9?

Here we will show you how to calculate "what" in this sentence: "What minus 3/9 equals 3/9?" We start by making this word problem into an algebraic equation where "what" is the variable "x".

x - 3/9 = 3/9

To solve this equation, we want x alone on the left side of the equation so we start by adding 3/9 on both sides like this:

x - 3/9 + 3/9 = 3/9 + 3/9

x - 3/9 + 3/9 leaves x and 3/9 + 3/9 is 2/3 which means we end up with x = 2/3. Therefore, the answer to "What minus 3/9 equals 3/9?" is as follows:

2/3

It is always good to double-check your math to make sure you did it right. When we entered 2/3 for x in this equation x - 3/9 = 3/9, we get the following true equation which means our math is correct.

2/3 - 3/9 = 3/9
