To simplify the expression \( \frac{9}{3}x + 4 + 2x \), first simplify \( \frac{9}{3}x \):

\[ \frac{9}{3}x = 3x \]

Now, replace \( \frac{9}{3}x \) in the original expression:

\[ 3x + 4 + 2x \]

Now, combine the \( x \) terms:

\[ 3x + 2x = 5x \]

So the expression simplifies to:

\[ 5x + 4 \]

Thus, the correct response is:

5x + 4
