Given:
The equation is
[tex]\dfrac{2}{5}x+9=9[/tex]
To find:
The statement for the given equation.
Solution:
For "more" or "plus" we use "+" sign.
For "of" we use "×" sign.
Let x be the unknown number.
Two-fifths of nine is a number.
[tex]\dfrac{2}{5}(9)=x[/tex]
Two-fifths of a number is nine.
[tex]\dfrac{2}{5}x=9[/tex]
A number plus nine is the same as two-fifths of nine.
[tex]x+9=\dfrac{2}{5}(9)[/tex]
These equation are different from the given equation. So, the options A, B and D are incorrect.
Nine more than two-fifths of a number is nine.
[tex]\dfrac{2}{5}x+9=9[/tex]
It is same as the given equation. Therefore, the correct option is C.
