To solve for x, we will first distribute the 1/3 to the terms inside the parentheses:

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

2x-3 = -33

Next, we add 3 to both sides of the equation:

2x-3+3 = -33+3

2x = -30

Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 2 to isolate x:

(1/2)(2x) = (-30)(1/2)

x = -30(1/2)

Therefore, the solution is x = -15.

The answer is B. x = -15.
