Answer:

3x=9

3x*1/3=9*1/3 [reciprocal mean switching the fraction so 3/1--->1/3]

x=3

\huge\text{Hey there!}


\large\textsf{3x = 9}


\large\text{DIVIDE 3 to BOTH SIDES}


\mathsf{(3x)/(3)=(9)/(3)}


\large\text{CANCEL out: } \mathsf{(3)/(3)} \large\text{ because that gives you 1}


\large\text{KEEP: } \mathsf{(9)/(3)}\large\text{ because that helps us solve for x }


\large\text{New equation: x = } (9)/(3)


\mathsf{(9)/(3) = \bf 3}


\boxed{\boxed{\large\textsf{Therefore, your \underline{answer} is: \huge \bf x = 3 }}}\huge\checkmark


\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}
