To find the value of x in the equation −3x+9=−19, you can start by subtracting 9 from both sides of the equation:
−3x+9−9=−19−9
Simplifying, you get:
−3x = −28
Next, divide both sides of the equation by -3 to solve for x:
−3x/−3 = −28/−3
Simplifying further, you get:
x = 28/3 or 9 and 1/3
Therefore, the value of x is 28/3 or 9 and 1/3.
