Solve n/x=3

$$\frac { n } { x } = 3$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{n}{3}$$

$$n\neq 0$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x.

$$n=3x$$

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

$$3x=n$$

Divide both sides by 3.

$$\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{n}{3}$$

Dividing by 3 undoes the multiplication by 3.

$$x=\frac{n}{3}$$

Variable x cannot be equal to 0.

$$x=\frac{n}{3}\text{, }x\neq 0$$

Solve for n

$$n=3x$$

$$x\neq 0$$

Solution Steps

Multiply both sides of the equation by x.

$$n=3x$$
