X=3

you sure ? cause the answer choices are A. x=5 B x=9 C. x= 4 and D x=7

Solution: add 1/4 to both sides. multiply by 4 to both sides divide by 3 on both sides you'll get the answer for x. Note, in order for the function to remain the same any action you do to one side must be done to the other.
