To solve the equation \( \frac{1}{3}(6x - 9) = -33 \), here are the correct steps:
Step 1: Multiply both sides by 3 to eliminate the fraction: \[ 6x - 9 = -99 \]
Step 2: Add 9 to both sides: \[ 6x = -90 \]
Step 3: Divide both sides by 6: \[ x = -15 \]
So, the order of the steps is:
Step 1: Multiply both sides by 3.
Step 2: Add 9 to both sides.
Step 3: Divide both sides by 6.
