What is the value of x when −3x+9=−19? (1 point)

Question

-9

9

3 2/3

−3 2/3

Answer 1

To find the value of x, we can solve the equation −3x+9=−19.

First, we can subtract 9 from both sides of the equation to isolate the -3x term:
-3x = -19 - 9
-3x = -28

Next, we can divide both sides of the equation by -3 to solve for x:
x = -28 / -3
x = 9 1/3

Therefore, the value of x is 9 1/3 or 3 2/3. The correct answer is −3 2/3.
