To solve the equations, we need to isolate the variable x in both equations.
First equation: 1.1x - 2 1/2 = 3/5x
To simplify, convert 2 1/2 to an improper fraction: 2 1/2 = 5/2
Now, rewrite the equation: 1.1x - 5/2 = 3/5x.
Get rid of the decimal by multiplying all terms by 10 to clear the decimal:10(1.1x) - 10(5/2) = 10(3/5x)11x - 25 = 6x
Now, isolate x by moving 6x to the other side:11x - 6x = 255x = 25x = 25/5x = 5
Second equation: 6.75x = 2 1/4x - 9
Convert 2 1/4 to an improper fraction: 2 1/4 = 9/4
Now, rewrite the equation: 6.75x = 9/4x - 9.
Get rid of the decimal by multiplying all terms by 100 to clear the decimal:100(6.75x) = 100(9/4x) - 100(9)675x = 225x - 900
Now, isolate x by moving 225x to the other side:675x - 225x = 900450x = 900x = 900/450x = 2
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = 5 and x = 2.

Get rid of the decimal by multiplying all terms by 10 to clear the decimal:
10(1.1x) - 10(5/2) = 10(3/5x)
11x - 25 = 6x
Now, isolate x by moving 6x to the other side:
11x - 6x = 25
5x = 25
x = 25/5
x = 5
Second equation: 6.75x = 2 1/4x - 9
Convert 2 1/4 to an improper fraction: 2 1/4 = 9/4
Now, rewrite the equation: 6.75x = 9/4x - 9.
Get rid of the decimal by multiplying all terms by 100 to clear the decimal:
100(6.75x) = 100(9/4x) - 100(9)
675x = 225x - 900
Now, isolate x by moving 225x to the other side:
675x - 225x = 900
450x = 900
x = 900/450
x = 2
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = 5 and x = 2.
