Responses

x = -30
x = -30

x = -15
x = -15

x = -22
x = -22

x = -19

Answer 1

To solve for x, we can start by distributing the 1/3 to the terms in the parentheses:

(1/3)(6x - 9) = -33

Now, we can simplify the equation by multiplying 1/3 with each term inside the parentheses:

2x - 3 = -33

Next, we can isolate the x-term by adding 3 to both sides:

2x = -30

Finally, we can solve for x by dividing both sides by 2:

x = -30

Therefore, the solution is x = -30.
