Question

Solve for x. 1 /3 (6x − 9) = −33

Answer 1

X = -15

Explanation:

1/3 (6x-9) = -33 you divide both sides by 1/3!!

1/3 1/3

6x-9 = -99 1/3 cancels out on the left

+9 +9 now move numbers to one side to get x by its self

6x = -90

6 6 divide to get x by itself

x = -15 answer!!

Answer 2

Explanation:

1 / 3 (6x - 9) = -33

1 / 3 (6x) - 1 / 3 (9) = -33

1 / 3 (6x) = 2x

1 / 3 (9) = 3

2x - 3 = -33

2x = -30

x = -15

Answer: x = -15
