Answer 1

To solve for x, we will first simplify the equation.

1/3(6x−9)=−33

First, distribute 1/3 to (6x - 9):

2x - 3 = -33

Next, add 3 to both sides of the equation:

2x - 3 + 3 = -33 + 3

2x = -30

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

(2x)/2 = -30/2

x = -15

Therefore, the solution is x = -15.
