$x = 21$ $x=21$

$\frac{2}{3} x - 5 = 9$ $2/3x−5=9$

Step 1: Add $5$ $5$ to both sides.

$\frac{2}{3} x - 5 + 5 = 9 + 5$ $2/3x−5+5=9+5$

$\frac{2}{3} x = 14$ $2/3x=14$

Step 2: Multiply both sides by $\frac{3}{2}$ $3/2$ .

$(\frac{3}{2}) \cdot (\frac{2}{3} x) = (\frac{3}{2}) \cdot (14)$ $(3/2) * (2/3x)=(3/2) * (14)$

$x = 21$ $x=21$
