To solve the equation \( \frac{1}{3}(6x - 9) = -33 \), we can follow these steps logically:
Step 1: Multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to eliminate the fraction:
- Response: Multiply by 3 on both sides of the equation.
Step 2: Simplify the left side and the right side: After multiplying, we have \( 6x - 9 = -99 \).
Step 3: Add 9 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with \( x \):
- Response: Add 9 to both sides of the equation.
So the correct order of the steps is:
Step 1: Multiply by 3 on both sides of the equation.
Step 2: Add 9 to both sides of the equation.
Step 3: Finally solve for \( x \) (not listed in the options but is the next implied step).
Note: The remaining operations to solve for \( x \) after step 3 involve dividing by 6. If necessary, that step could be included depending on the completeness required.
