Solve 1/xa=-20N

$$\frac { 1 } { x } a = - 20 N$$

Solve for N

$$N=-\frac{a}{20x}$$

$$x\neq 0$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by x.

$$1a=-20Nx$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$-20Nx=1a$$

Reorder the terms.

$$-20Nx=a$$

The equation is in standard form.

$$\left(-20x\right)N=a$$

Divide both sides by -20x.

$$\frac{\left(-20x\right)N}{-20x}=\frac{a}{-20x}$$

Dividing by -20x undoes the multiplication by -20x.

$$N=\frac{a}{-20x}$$

Divide a by -20x.

$$N=-\frac{a}{20x}$$

Solve for a

$$a=-20Nx$$

$$x\neq 0$$

Solution Steps

Multiply both sides of the equation by x.

$$1a=-20Nx$$

Reorder the terms.

$$a=-20Nx$$
