To solve the equation \( \frac{x}{3} - 9 = 6 \) for \( x \), follow these steps:
-
Add 9 to both sides to isolate the term involving \( x \): \[ \frac{x}{3} - 9 + 9 = 6 + 9 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{x}{3} = 15 \]
-
Multiply both sides by 3 to solve for \( x \): \[ 3 \cdot \frac{x}{3} = 15 \cdot 3 \] This simplifies to: \[ x = 45 \]
Therefore, the solution is \( x = 45 \).
