Answer:

9

Explanation:

Given equation:

5 = (x)/(3) + 2

To determine the solution (x) of the equation, we need to isolate it. To do this, we can subtract 2 both sides of the equation.

$\implies 5 - 2 = (x)/(3) + 2 - 2$

$\implies 3 = (x)/(3)$

To further isolate "x", we can use cross multiplication.

$\implies 3 * 3 = x$

Finally, simplify the expression on the left-hand-side to obtain the value of x.

$\implies \boxed{9 = x}$
