Answer:
x= -33
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract 9 from both sides:
2/3x+9-9=-13-9
Simplify the arithmetic:
2/3 · x =-13-9
Simplify the arithmetic:
2/3 · x = -22
Multiply both sides by inverse fraction 3/2:
2/3x ·3/2= -22 ·3/2
Group like terms:
2/3 ·3/2x= -22 ·3/2
Simplify the fraction:
x=-22 · 2/3
Multiply the fractions:
x= -22·2/3 ÷2
Simplify the arithmetic:
x = -33
