When the positive integer x

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

A. 0
B. 1
C. 3
D. 4
E. 6

My Ques: Values of x that satisfies x/9 remainder-5 (5, 14, 23 …)

When i substitute in 3x/9  – 3*5/9- I get remainder 2. because i cancel out 3/9 converting ratio in 5/3 giving remainder 2.

Where am i going wrong?
