To solve the equation \(\frac{1}{3}(6x - 9) = -33\), the steps can be ordered as follows:

Step 1: Multiply both sides by 3 to eliminate the fraction.
Step 2: Distribute \(3\) on the left side: \(6x - 9 = -99\).
Step 3: Add 9 to both sides and then divide by 6 to isolate \(x\).

So the order of the steps is:

  • Step 1: Multiply both sides by 3.
  • Step 2: Distribute on the left side.
  • Step 3: Add 9 to both sides and divide by 6.
