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

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 $x = - (8) / (3)$ .
