Answer 1

To solve the equation \( \frac{1}{3}(6x - 9) = -33 \), let's go through the steps logically:

Step 1

Multiply both sides by 3 to eliminate the fraction: \[ 6x - 9 = -99 \]

Step 2

Add 9 to both sides to isolate the term with \(x\): \[ 6x = -90 \]

Step 3

Divide both sides by 6 to solve for \(x\): \[ x = -15 \]

Based on that, you can fill in the steps as follows:

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

Answer to Question 2

Therefore, the answer to \( x \) is: \[ x = -15 \]
