what integer is tripled when 9 is added to 3 fourths of it?

Let the integer be n. Tripling an integer means multiplying it by 3. We're given:
3n = 3n/4 + 9

Since 3 = 12/4, we have:
12n/4 = 3n/4 + 9

Subtract 3n/4 from each side:
9n/4 = 9

Typing this equation into the search engine, we get:
n = 4
