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}
