To solve the equation \( 6 = -3(x - 3) \), follow these steps: 1. Distribute the \(-3\) on the right side: \[ 6 = -3x + 9 \] 2. To isolate \( -3x \), subtract \( 9 \) from both sides: \[ 6 - 9 = -3x \] \[ -3 = -3x \] 3. Now, divide both sides by \(-3\): \[ x = \frac{-3}{-3} = 1 \] So, the solution is: \[ x = 1 \]

6=-3(x-3)

To solve the equation \( 6 = -3(x - 3) \), follow these steps:

Distribute the \(-3\) on the right side:

\[ 6 = -3x + 9 \]
To isolate \( -3x \), subtract \( 9 \) from both sides:

\[ 6 - 9 = -3x \] \[ -3 = -3x \]
Now, divide both sides by \(-3\):

\[ x = \frac{-3}{-3} = 1 \]

So, the solution is:

\[ x = 1 \]
