Answer 1

To find the value of x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.

Starting with the equation −3x + 9 = −19, we can subtract 9 from both sides:
−3x + 9 - 9 = -19 - 9
−3x = -28

Next, divide both sides of the equation by -3 to solve for x:
(-3x)/(-3) = (-28)/(-3)
x = 28/3

Therefore, the value of x is 28/3 or 9.33.
