To solve the equation \( \frac{x}{3} = -9 \), follow these steps:
1. **Multiply both sides by 3** to eliminate the fraction:
\[
3 \cdot \frac{x}{3} = 3 \cdot (-9)
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
x = -27
\]
2. **Conclusion**: The solution to the equation is
\[
x = -27.
\]
You can check the solution by substituting \( -27 \) back into the original equation:
\[
\frac{-27}{3} = -9,
\]
which is true. Therefore, the solution is correct.
