<PRE><B>Question 357636</B>
Mutiply each term of the equation by the least common denominator of the fraction to clear the fraction. &lt;br&gt;

In this case, multiply each term by 3, so we have&lt;br&gt;

{{{x/3+9=5}}}&lt;br&gt;

{{{3x/3+9*3=5*3}}}&lt;br&gt;

{{{x+27=15}}}&lt;br&gt;

{{{x=-12}}}&lt;br&gt;

I hope this helps!&lt;br&gt;</PRE>
