When the positive integer x is divided by 9, the remainder is 5. What is the remainder when 3x is divided by 9?

Before we help with this question, we'd like you to show some effort of your own. What did you try on this question? Where did you get stuck?

Well I know this is part of numbers property. When I see it, I know I'm suppose to find an answer which is a multiple of 9 and 3x correct? So I need to find the divisor or the dividend correct?

Dividend= quotient + remainder.

3x/9 ?
