Answer 1

To solve the equation 1/3 * (6x - 9) = -33, we can begin by distributing the 1/3 to the terms inside the parentheses:

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

Simplifying, we have:

2x - 3 = -33

Next, we can add 3 to both sides of the equation to isolate the variable:

2x - 3 + 3 = -33 + 3

Simplifying further, we get:

2x = -30

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

(2x) / 2 = -30 / 2

x = -15

Therefore, the solution is x = -15.
