9=9R\times \frac{1}{9}+9R\times \frac{1}{3}
Variable R cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 9R, the least common multiple of R,9,3.
9=R+9R\times \frac{1}{3}
Cancel out 9 and 9.
9=R+\frac{9}{3}R
Multiply 9 and \frac{1}{3} to get \frac{9}{3}.
9=R+3R
Divide 9 by 3 to get 3.
9=4R
Combine R and 3R to get 4R.
4R=9
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
R=\frac{9}{4}
Divide both sides by 4.
