Answer

$y=\frac{9+x}{3}$.

Work Step by Step

The given equation is $\Rightarrow3y-x=9$ Add $x$ to each side. $\Rightarrow3y-x+x=9+x$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow3y=9+x$ Divide both sides by $3$. $\Rightarrow \frac{3y}{3}=\frac{9+x}{3}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow y=\frac{9+x}{3}$ Hence, the rewritten literal equation is $y=\frac{9+x}{3}$.
