Solve for x. 1/3(6x−9)=−33 (1 point) Responses

Question

x = -30
x = -15
x = -22
x = -19

Answer 1

To solve for x, we can start by multiplying both sides of the equation by 3 to eliminate the fraction:

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

This simplifies to:

6x - 9 = -99

Next, we can add 9 to both sides of the equation to isolate the x term:

6x = -99 + 9

This simplifies to:

6x = -90

Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 6 to solve for x:

x = -90/6

This simplifies to:

x = -15

Therefore, the correct answer is x = -15.
