Solve D/B=3/5

$$\frac { D } { B } = \frac { 3 } { 5 }$$

Solve for B

$$B=\frac{5D}{3}$$

$$D\neq 0$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable B cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 5B, the least common multiple of B,5.

$$5D=3B$$

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

$$3B=5D$$

Divide both sides by 3.

$$\frac{3B}{3}=\frac{5D}{3}$$

Dividing by 3 undoes the multiplication by 3.

$$B=\frac{5D}{3}$$

Variable B cannot be equal to 0.

$$B=\frac{5D}{3}\text{, }B\neq 0$$

Solve for D

$$D=\frac{3B}{5}$$

$$B\neq 0$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 5B, the least common multiple of B,5.

$$5D=3B$$

Divide both sides by 5.

$$\frac{5D}{5}=\frac{3B}{5}$$

Dividing by 5 undoes the multiplication by 5.

$$D=\frac{3B}{5}$$
