Answer:

x=-20

Explanation:

−3(x+9)=33

Divide both sides by -3

-3(x+9)/-3=33/-3

simplify;

-3(x+9)/-3

Divide the numbers:3/3=1

=x+9

Simplify 33/-3

=-33/3

Divide the numbers 33/3

=-11

x+9=-11

Subtract 9 from both sides

x+9-9=-11-9

Simplify;

x=-20

Answer:

x= −20

Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

−3(x+9)=33

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−3(x+9)=33

(−3)(x)+(−3)(9)=33(Distribute)

−3x+−27=33

−3x−27=33

Step 2: Add 27 to both sides.

−3x−27+27=33+27

−3x=60

Step 3: Divide both sides by -3.

−3x −3 = 60 −3 x=−20

Answer:

x=−20

Hope this helps! :)
