Question Solve for x. 13(6x−9)=−33 (1 point) Responses x = -30 x = -30 x = -15 x = -15 x = -22 x = -22 x = -19

Answer 1

To solve the equation 13(6x−9)=−33, we will first distribute 13 to both terms inside the parentheses. This gives us:

78x - 117 = -33

Next, we will isolate the variable term by adding 117 to both sides of the equation:

78x - 117 + 117 = -33 + 117
78x = 84

Finally, we will divide both sides of the equation by 78 to solve for x:

78x/78 = 84/78
x = 1.08

So the correct answer is x = 1.08.
