2n\left(n-1\right)\left(n+1\right)=3\left(1-6x_{55}\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 3n\left(n-1\right)\left(n+1\right), the least common multiple of 3,n\left(n^{2}-1\right).
\left(2n^{2}-2n\right)\left(n+1\right)=3\left(1-6x_{55}\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 2n by n-1.
2n^{3}-2n=3\left(1-6x_{55}\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 2n^{2}-2n by n+1 and combine like terms.
2n^{3}-2n=3-18x_{55}
Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by 1-6x_{55}.
3-18x_{55}=2n^{3}-2n
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-18x_{55}=2n^{3}-2n-3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
\frac{-18x_{55}}{-18}=\frac{2n^{3}-2n-3}{-18}
Divide both sides by -18.
x_{55}=\frac{2n^{3}-2n-3}{-18}
Dividing by -18 undoes the multiplication by -18.
x_{55}=-\frac{n^{3}}{9}+\frac{n}{9}+\frac{1}{6}
Divide 2n^{3}-2n-3 by -18.
