Answer:

x = 1/2

Explanation:

First you want to get rid of the fraction, so you can multiply both sides of the equation by 3.

9 = 2x + 8

Then, subtract 8 from both sides to get x by itself.

1 = 2x

Finally, divide both sides by 2 so you only have one x

1/2 = x

This means that the answer is x = 1/2.
