Hello!

You solve this algebraically

[tex] \frac{9-x}{5} =3[/tex]

multiply both sides by 5

9 - x = 15

Subtract 9 from both sides

-x = 6

Since x is negative we can multiply both sides by -1 to make x positive

x = -6

The answer is -6

Hope this helps!
The first step for solving this equation is to multiply both sides of the equation by 5.
9 - x = 15
Now move the constant to the right side of the equation and change its sign.
-x = 15 - 9
Subtract the numbers on the right side
-x = 6
Lastly,, change the signs on both sides of the equation to get your final answer.
x = -6
This means that the correct answer to your question is x = -6.
Let me know if you have any further questions
