First, we can simplify the equation by distributing the -3:
-9 = 3 - 3x - 9
Next, we can combine like terms:
-9 = -6 - 3x
Then, we can isolate the variable by adding 6 to both sides:
-3 = -3x
Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides by -3:
x = 1
Therefore, the solution to the equation -9 = 3 - 3(x+3) is x = 1.
−9=3−3(x+3)
