9+\frac{1}{5}x+\frac{1}{2}x=x
Add 3 and 6 to get 9.
9+\frac{7}{10}x=x
Combine \frac{1}{5}x and \frac{1}{2}x to get \frac{7}{10}x.
9+\frac{7}{10}x-x=0
Subtract x from both sides.
9-\frac{3}{10}x=0
Combine \frac{7}{10}x and -x to get -\frac{3}{10}x.
-\frac{3}{10}x=-9
Subtract 9 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=-9\left(-\frac{10}{3}\right)
Multiply both sides by -\frac{10}{3}, the reciprocal of -\frac{3}{10}.
x=\frac{-9\left(-10\right)}{3}
Express -9\left(-\frac{10}{3}\right) as a single fraction.
x=\frac{90}{3}
Multiply -9 and -10 to get 90.
x=30
Divide 90 by 3 to get 30.
