Answer 1

To solve the equation \(-3x + 9 = -18\), follow these steps:

1. Subtract 9 from both sides: \[ -3x + 9 - 9 = -18 - 9 \] which simplifies to: \[ -3x = -27 \]

2. Divide both sides by -3: \[ x = \frac{-27}{-3} \] which simplifies to: \[ x = 9 \]

So, the value of \(x\) is \(9\).

The correct response is 9.
