Solve for x.

Question

1 over 3 (6 (x) − 9 ) = −33

Answer 1

To solve for x, we need to simplify the equation first.

First, let's distribute the 6 to the expression inside the parentheses:

6(x) - 9 = 6x - 9

Now, we can simplify the equation further:

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

Multiplying 1/3 to the expression inside the parentheses:

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

Simplifying:

2x - 3 = -33

Next, let's isolate the variable x.

Adding 3 to both sides of the equation:

2x - 3 + 3 = -33 + 3

Simplifying:

2x = -30

Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for x:

(2x)/2 = (-30)/2

Simplifying:

x = -15

Therefore, x is equal to -15.
