<PRE><B>Question 305264</B>
Equation is:


3x + 2 = 9


Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation to get:


3x = 7


Divide both sides of the equation by 3 to get:


x = (7/3)


Confirm by replacing x with (7/3) in your original equation.


3 * (7/3) + 2 = 9


This becomes:


7 + 2 = 9 which becomes:


9 = 9 confirming that the solution is correct.
