x/9 +3 = 8 - x/3
Solve??????
First, get rid of the fractions to make the equation easier to solve for x.
Let's multiply every term by 9:
9 [x/9 + 3 = 8 - x/3]
x + 27 = 72 - 3x
4x = 45
x = 45/4
Substitute 45/4 for x in the original equation to check. It always helps to check your work!
I hope this will help.
