Answer 1

To solve the equation −3x+9=−19, we need to isolate the variable x.

First, let's subtract 9 from both sides of the equation:

−3x + 9 - 9 = −19 - 9
−3x = −28

Next, we can divide both sides of the equation by −3 to solve for x:

−3x / −3 = −28 / −3
x = 28/3

So the value of x is 28/3 or 9 and 1/3.
