To solve this problem, we will use the distributive property.

3/4 (x + 9) = 15

3/4x + 6.75 = 15

Now we will subtract 6.75 from both sides of the equation.

3/4x = 8.25

To get rid of the fraction, we will multiply 8.25 by 4, then divide it by 3.

3/4x • 4 : 3 = 8.25 • 4 : 3

x = 11

Another way to do this would be to divide 3 by 4 and write. 75x, then divide. 75 into 8.25. It would still get us 11.

In this equation, x is equal to 11.
