To solve the equation \( \frac{1}{3}(6x - 9) = -33 \), we can follow these steps in order:

Step 1: Eliminate the fraction by multiplying both sides of the equation by 3.

Step 2: Simplify the equation.

Step 3: Solve for \( x \).

Putting it all together, the steps are:

  • Step 1: Multiply both sides by 3: \( 6x - 9 = -99 \)
  • Step 2: Add 9 to both sides: \( 6x = -90 \)
  • Step 3: Divide both sides by 6: \( x = -15 \)

So the correct order is:

  • Step 1: Multiply both sides by 3
  • Step 2: Add 9 to both sides
  • Step 3: Divide both sides by 6
