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