Answer 1

To find the value of x, you can solve the equation by isolating the variable.

First, subtract 9 from both sides of the equation:

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

This simplifies to:
-3x = -28

Next, divide both sides of the equation by -3 to solve for x:

(-3x)/-3 = -28/-3

This simplifies to:
x = 28/3 or 9 1/3

Therefore, the value of x is 9 1/3 or -3 2/3.
