Answer

$x = 12$

Work Step by Step

$\frac{3}{4}x = 9$ We need to isolate the variable $x$ by multiplying through by the reciprocal of the coefficient of $x$ which is $\frac{4}{3}$ as shown below: $\frac{3}{4}x \times \frac{4}{3} = 9 \times \frac{4}{3}$ Simplify to get: $x = 12$ This implies that the equation has a possible solution at $x =12$
