Sarah's answer is incorrect.
In the equation 5x + 3 + 9x - 33 = 180, Sarah incorrectly simplified it to 5x + 3 = 9x - 33. The correct simplification should be 14x - 30 = 180, as stated in Jose's answer.
So, Sarah's equation does not accurately represent the original equation, and therefore her answer of 3 = 4x - 33 is also incorrect.
