To find the value of x, we can first solve the equation −3x + 9 = −19.
Subtracting 9 from both sides of the equation, we get −3x = −28.
Dividing both sides of the equation by -3, we find x = 28/3, which can be written in mixed number form as 9 and 1/3.
Therefore, the value of x is 9 and 1/3, or in the provided answer choices, 3 and 2/3.
