$${let}\:{t}=\frac{{x}}{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$$\lfloor\mathrm{3}{t}\rfloor−\lfloor{t}\rfloor=\mathrm{3} \\ $$$${let}\:{t}={n}+{f}\:{with}\:\mathrm{0}\leqslant{f}<\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\mathrm{3}{n}+\lfloor\mathrm{3}{f}\rfloor−{n}=\mathrm{3} \\ $$$$\lfloor\mathrm{3}{f}\rfloor=\mathrm{3}−\mathrm{2}{n} \\ $$$$\mathrm{3}−\mathrm{2}{n}\geqslant\mathrm{0}\:\Rightarrow{n}\leqslant\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{2}}\:\Rightarrow{n}\leqslant\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\mathrm{3}−\mathrm{2}{n}<\mathrm{3}\:\Rightarrow{n}>\mathrm{0}\:\Rightarrow{n}\geqslant\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{n}=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\lfloor\mathrm{3}{f}\rfloor=\mathrm{3}−\mathrm{2}=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{1}\leqslant\mathrm{3}{f}<\mathrm{2}\:\Rightarrow\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}}\leqslant{f}<\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\frac{\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{3}}\leqslant{t}<\frac{\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\frac{\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{3}}\leqslant\frac{{x}}{\mathrm{3}}<\frac{\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{4}\leqslant{x}<\mathrm{5}\:\checkmark \\ $$
