Marking first correct answer as brainliest

Answer 1

Answer:

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

Answer 2
