Answer 1

To solve the equation \( -3x + 9 = -18 \), follow these steps:

1. Subtract 9 from both sides: \[ -3x + 9 - 9 = -18 - 9 \] This simplifies to: \[ -3x = -27 \]

2. Divide both sides by -3: \[ x = \frac{-27}{-3} \] This simplifies to: \[ x = 9 \]

So the value of \( x \) is \( 9 \).

The correct response is:

• 9
