Answer:

2/7x +3=9

x=21

Explanation:

Let the unknown be x.

Take 3 to the other side so: 2/7 multiplied by x= 6

Divide 6 by 2/7 to get the answer;

Therefore x=21

Sub back into equation to check answer.

Answer:

The equation is: 2/7x + 3 = 9

The unknown number is: 21

Explanation:

Write as an unknown value (using a variable)

2/7ths of a number = 2/7x

Write as an equation

2/7x + 3 = 9

Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation

2/7x = 6

Divide both sides of the equation by 2/7

x = 21

The equation is: 2/7x + 3 = 9

The unknown number is: 21

Hope this helps :)
