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 inside the parenthesis:

1/3(6x - 9) = -33
2x - 3 = -33

Next, we can add 3 to both sides of the equation to isolate the variable:

2x - 3 + 3 = -33 + 3
2x = -30

Finally, we can divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for x:

2x/2 = -30/2
x = -15

Therefore, the solution for x is x = -15.
