If you add 5 to me and then divide by 9, you get 3. What number am I?

form an equation using the information provided x = number (x + 5)/9 = 3 multiply by 9 x + 5 = 27 then solve x = 22

You are simply reversing the equation
(X+5)/9=3
First times 3 by 9 giving you 27
X+5=27
Now subtract 5 to get your answer
27-5=22
and 22 is your answer!!!!
