\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{9}{4}=x
Divide each term of 3x+9 by 4 to get \frac{3}{4}x+\frac{9}{4}.
\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{9}{4}-x=0
Subtract x from both sides.
-\frac{1}{4}x+\frac{9}{4}=0
Combine \frac{3}{4}x and -x to get -\frac{1}{4}x.
-\frac{1}{4}x=-\frac{9}{4}
Subtract \frac{9}{4} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=-\frac{9}{4}\left(-4\right)
Multiply both sides by -4, the reciprocal of -\frac{1}{4}.
x=\frac{-9\left(-4\right)}{4}
Express -\frac{9}{4}\left(-4\right) as a single fraction.
x=\frac{36}{4}
Multiply -9 and -4 to get 36.
x=9
Divide 36 by 4 to get 9.
