Solve the following equation for n
nC2 - 5{P(1/3n, 2)} + 1/3n = 9
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

n = 9.

Comment from student: Thanks a lot ikleyn!! Can you give me the steps on how you found nine please. So that I can understand better.
-----------------

It is clear that  must be integer positive.

Therefore, let us introduce new variable m = .

Then n = 3m,  and the equation takes the form

(3m)C2 - 5P(m,2) + m = 9.

Or   - 5*m*(m-1) + m = 9.

This is a quadratic equation, and you can solve it.
