To isolate the variable in the equation 3x = 9, you can follow these steps:

Step 1: Start with the equation 3x = 9.
Step 2: To isolate the variable x, divide both sides of the equation by 3.
This gives you (3x)/3 = 9/3, which simplifies to x = 3.
Step 3: The variable x is now isolated, and the solution to the equation is x = 3.

By dividing both sides of the equation by 3, you are essentially "undoing" the multiplication by 3 on the left side. This allows you to isolate the variable x and find its value.
