Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:
The value of the first bracket of numbers without the x is 9 and 2 for the second also without the x. 9 is divisible to get 3, and 1 can add to 2 to get 3. Since 1 will not affect 4x + 5 due to 1 being the multiplicative identity, this equation is simply (4 + 5)/(1 + 2) to 9 ÷ 3, which is 3. So x equals to 1.

Hope this helps !!
