Hey there!

-3x = -33


DIVIDE -3 to BOTH SIDES

-3x/-3 = -33/-3


CANCEL out: -3/-3 because it gives you 1


KEEP: -33/-3 because it gives you the x-value


NEW EQUATION: x = -33/-3


SIMPLIFY IT!


x = 11


Therefore, your answer is: x = 11


Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!

Answer:

The solution is x = 11.

Explanation:

Given -3x = -33, we are to solve for x. Proceed by dividing both sides by -3, to isolate x:

-3x

----- = x = -33/(-3) = 11

-3

The solution is x = 11.
