To solve the equation 1/3(6x−9)=−33, we first distribute the 1/3 to the terms inside the parentheses:
(1/3)(6x−9) = -33
= (1/3)*6x - (1/3)*9 = -33
= 2x - 3 = -33
Next, we add 3 to both sides of the equation to isolate the variable:
2x - 3 + 3 = -33 + 3
2x = -30
Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for x:
2x/2 = -30/2
x = -15
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -15.
Solve for x.
