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.
