Answer:
x = 4/3 or 1.33333333333333333333333(infinite 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
3 times a number = 3x
sum = addition
3x + 5 = 9
now balance equation, get numbers without x on same side. Subtract 5 from both sides, this will leave 3x on one side, and 9-5 on the other side.
3x = 4, now divide by 3 on each side to get x on one side
3x/3 = 4/3
x=4/3
4/3 = 1.33
3 x 1.33 +5 = 9
