Answer:

Explanation:

Step 1: Add 9 to both sides, 33+9=42, the 9s cancel out.

Step 2: divide -6x to both sides 42/-6x is -7x, the 6s cancel out.

You can check the answer by substituting x with 7, so it should look like this: -6(-7)-9=33 :)

Answer: X = -7 because -6 times -7 equals 42 and 42 minus 9 equals 33
