-9 = 33 + 2x

1 answer

To solve for x, let's solve the equation step by step:

-9 = 33 + 2x

First, let's isolate the term with x. We can do this by subtracting 33 from both sides of the equation:

-9 - 33 = 33 + 2x - 33
-42 = 2x

Next, we can divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for x:

-42 / 2 = 2x / 2
-21 = x

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -21.
