Question

-9

9

3 2/3

−3 2/3

Answer 1

To find the value of x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.
We can do this by subtracting 9 from both sides of the equation.

-3x + 9 - 9 = -19 - 9

This simplifies to:

-3x = -28

To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by -3.

-3x / -3 = -28 / -3

This simplifies to:

x = 28/3 = 9 1/3

Therefore, the value of x is -3 2/3.
