To solve the equation \( \frac{1}{3}(6x - 9) = -33 \), follow these steps in the correct order:
-
Multiply both sides of the equation by 3 (to eliminate the fraction): \[ 6x - 9 = -99 \]
-
Add 9 to both sides of the equation: \[ 6x = -90 \]
-
Divide by 6 on both sides of the equation: \[ x = -15 \]
So the order of the steps would be:
- Multiply by 3 on both sides of the equation.
- Add 9 to both sides of the equation.
- Divide by 6 on both sides of the equation.
