Answer 1

Let's solve the equation step by step and then identify the correct order of steps.

Given equation: \[ \frac{1}{3}(6x - 9) = -33 \]

Step 1: Eliminate the fraction. Multiply both sides by 3: \[ 6x - 9 = -99 \]

Step 2: Isolate the term with x. Add 9 to both sides: \[ 6x = -90 \]

Step 3: Solve for x. Divide both sides by 6: \[ x = -15 \]

Now let's fill in the steps:

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

For Question 2, the solution for x is: x = -15.
