#x = - (8) / (3)#

We have: #(3 x) / (2) + 9 = 5#

First, let's subtract #9# from both sides of the equation:

#=> (3 x) / (2) = - 4#

Then, let's multiply both sides by #2#:

#=> 3 x = - 8#

Finally, to solve for #x#, let's divide both sides by #3#:

#=> x = - (8) / (3)#

Therefore, the solution to the equation is #x = - (8) / (3)#.
