Let's solve the equation step by step:
13(6x−9)=−33
First, distribute the 13 into the parentheses:
13 * 6x - 13 * 9 = -33
78x - 117 = -33
Now, add 117 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with x on one side:
78x - 117 + 117 = -33 + 117
78x = 84
Next, divide both sides by 78 to solve for x:
78x / 78 = 84 / 78
x = 84 / 78
Now, simplify the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor which is 6:
x = (84 / 6) / (78 / 6)
x = 14 / 13
So the simplified solution for x is:
x = 14 / 13
The options provided do not include the correct answer; the correct answer is x = 14 / 13.
Solve for x.
