So we'd solve this like
-3(x-3)= -9 (now out here we will first multiply -3 by x and -3 )
-3x - 9 = - 9 (and now we will take -9 to the other side with -9 to put like terms together)
-3x = -9 -9 ( and now we would add the two -9's and also put the minus sign)
-3x = -18 (now we will take -3 to the other side and divide it by -18 which will then give us our x and also we will cut the two minus signs while dividing the two)
x = -18 / -3 (now simply divide)
x = 6 ANSWER
i hope uve understood by now but if not then pls be free to ask!
hope this helps!
