To find expressions equivalent to \( -9\left(\frac{2}{3}x + 1\right) \), we can distribute \( -9 \) through the expression:
\[
-9\left(\frac{2}{3}x + 1\right) = -9\left(\frac{2}{3}x\right) - 9(1)
\]
Calculating \( -9\left(\frac{2}{3}x\right) \):
\[
-9\left(\frac{2}{3}x\right) = -\frac{18}{3}x = -6x
\]
And calculating \( -9(1) \):
\[
-9(1) = -9
\]
Putting it all together, we have:
\[
-9\left(\frac{2}{3}x + 1\right) = -6x - 9
\]
Now, checking the response options:
1. \( -6x + 9 \) - **Not Equivalent**
2. \( -6x + 1 \) - **Not Equivalent**
3. \( -6x - 9 \) - **Equivalent**
4. \( -9(23x) - 9(1) \) - **Not Equivalent**, since it contains a mistake in the notation of \( \frac{2}{3} \).
5. \( -9(23x) + 9(1) \) - **Not Equivalent**, for the same reason as above.
Thus, the only equivalent expression is:
- \( -6x - 9 \)
The one that applies is:
- \( -6x - 9 \)
\[
-9\left(\frac{2}{3}x + 1\right) = -9\left(\frac{2}{3}x\right) - 9(1)
\]
Calculating \( -9\left(\frac{2}{3}x\right) \):
\[
-9\left(\frac{2}{3}x\right) = -\frac{18}{3}x = -6x
\]
And calculating \( -9(1) \):
\[
-9(1) = -9
\]
Putting it all together, we have:
\[
-9\left(\frac{2}{3}x + 1\right) = -6x - 9
\]
Now, checking the response options:
1. \( -6x + 9 \) - **Not Equivalent**
2. \( -6x + 1 \) - **Not Equivalent**
3. \( -6x - 9 \) - **Equivalent**
4. \( -9(23x) - 9(1) \) - **Not Equivalent**, since it contains a mistake in the notation of \( \frac{2}{3} \).
5. \( -9(23x) + 9(1) \) - **Not Equivalent**, for the same reason as above.
Thus, the only equivalent expression is:
- \( -6x - 9 \)
The one that applies is:

Let’s carefully review the problem to ensure accuracy in identifying equivalent expressions to \( -9\left(\frac{2}{3}x + 1\right) \).
Starting with the expression:
\[
-9\left(\frac{2}{3}x + 1\right)
\]
We can distribute \( -9 \):
\[
-9\left(\frac{2}{3}x\right) + (-9)(1) = -9 \cdot \frac{2}{3}x - 9
\]
Calculating \( -9 \cdot \frac{2}{3}x \):
\[
-9 \cdot \frac{2}{3} = -\frac{18}{3} = -6
\]
Thus:
\[
-9\left(\frac{2}{3}x + 1\right) = -6x - 9
\]
Now, let’s examine the choices provided:
1. \( -6x + 9 \) - Not equivalent
2. \( -6x + 1 \) - Not equivalent
3. \( -6x - 9 \) - **Equivalent**
4. \( -9(2/3x) - 9(1) \) - Correctly written as \( -9 \cdot \frac{2}{3}x - 9 \), which simplifies to \( -6x - 9 \) - **Equivalent**
5. \( -9(2/3x) + 9(1) \) - Would simplify to \( -6x + 9 \) - Not equivalent
So the two equivalent expressions are:
- **\( -6x - 9 \)**
- **The one resembling \( -9\left(\frac{2}{3}x\right) - 9 \)** (if correctly noted as \( -9\left(\frac{2}{3}x\right) - 9 \) rather than \( -9(2/3x) \pm 9(1) \)).
If you were referring to the exact notation in choice 4, it needs to be corrected to present equivalently as stated.
In summary, the confirmed equivalent expressions are:
- \( -6x - 9 \)
- The distribution breakdown of \( -9\left(\frac{2}{3}x\right) - 9(1) = -6x - 9 \) if specified clearly.
