9

3 2/3

−3 2/3

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the value of x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.

We can do this by subtracting 9 from both sides of the equation.

-3x + 9 - 9 = -19 - 9

This simplifies to:

-3x = -28

To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by -3.

-3x / -3 = -28 / -3

This simplifies to:

x = 28/3 = 9 1/3

Therefore, the value of x is -3 2/3.

To find the value of x, we need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.

Starting with the equation:
-3x + 9 = -19

First, let's get rid of the constant on the left side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 9 from both sides:
-3x + 9 - 9 = -19 - 9

Simplifying, we have:
-3x = -28

Next, divide both sides of the equation by -3 to solve for x:
(-3x)/-3 = (-28)/-3

This simplifies to:
x = 28/3

So, the value of x is 28/3, which can also be expressed as 9 1/3.

To find the value of x in the equation -3x + 9 = -19, we can begin by isolating the variable x.

First, we subtract 9 from both sides of the equation:

-3x + 9 - 9 = -19 - 9

This simplifies to:

-3x = -28

Next, we need to solve for x. Since -3x means -3 multiplied by x, we divide both sides of the equation by -3 to isolate x:

(-3x) / -3 = (-28) / -3

This simplifies to:

x = 28/3

The answer is x = 28/3, which can also be written as 9 1/3 or 9.33 (rounded to two decimal places). However, none of the answer options provided match this result.
