Solve for x

Question

1/3(6x - 9) = -33

X equal -30
X = -15
X = -22
X = -19

Answer 1

To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.

1/3(6x - 9) = -33

First, distribute the 1/3 to the terms inside the parentheses:

2x - 3 = -33

Next, add 3 to both sides to get rid of the -3 on the left side of the equation:

2x = -30

Finally, divide both sides by 2 to solve for x:

x = -30

So, x equals -30.
