To solve the equation \( 13(6x-9) = -33 \), we can follow these steps:

Step 1: Distribute the 13 on the left side.

Step 2: Combine like terms, if necessary, and isolate the term with \( x \).

Step 3: Solve for \( x \).

Applying these steps to your equation:

  1. Step 1: Distribute 13. \[ 13 \cdot 6x - 13 \cdot 9 = -33 \] This simplifies to: \[ 78x - 117 = -33 \]

  2. Step 2: Add 117 to both sides. \[ 78x = -33 + 117 \] This simplifies to: \[ 78x = 84 \]

  3. Step 3: Divide both sides by 78. \[ x = \frac{84}{78} = \frac{14}{13} \]

Now we can check the potential answers given for \( x \):

  • \( x = -30 \)
  • \( x = -15 \)
  • \( x = -22 \)
  • \( x = -19 \)

None of these options matches \( \frac{14}{13} \), which is approximately 1.08. There may be an error in the answer choices provided or in the equation. Please double-check the question or the available answer options.

This is wrong

I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. Let's carefully solve the equation step-by-step:

Given equation:

\[ 13(6x - 9) = -33 \]

Step 1: Distribute the 13:

\[ 13 \cdot 6x - 13 \cdot 9 = -33 \] This results in: \[ 78x - 117 = -33 \]

Step 2: Add 117 to both sides:

\[ 78x - 117 + 117 = -33 + 117 \] This simplifies to: \[ 78x = 84 \]

Step 3: Divide both sides by 78:

\[ x = \frac{84}{78} \] This simplifies to: \[ x = \frac{14}{13} \quad \text{(which is approximately 1.08)} \]

Next, let's see if I misinterpreted the question or the answer options provided for Question 2:

If you have these options:

  • \( x = -30 \)
  • \( x = -15 \)
  • \( x = -22 \)
  • \( x = -19 \)

None of these options match \( \frac{14}{13} \).

If there were any other steps or details you wanted to clarify regarding the problem, please let me know, and I'll assist you accordingly! Thank you for your understanding.
