Answer 1

To find the value of x, we need to solve the equation −3x + 9 = −19.

First, let's isolate the variable by subtracting 9 from both sides of the equation:
−3x + 9 - 9 = −19 - 9
−3x = -28

Next, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by -3:
-3x / -3 = -28 / -3
x = 28/3

So the value of x is 28/3, which can also be written as 9 1/3.

Therefore, the correct answer is 9 1/3
