3\times 10^{8}=1.5x
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x.
3\times 100000000=1.5x
Calculate 10 to the power of 8 and get 100000000.
300000000=1.5x
Multiply 3 and 100000000 to get 300000000.
1.5x=300000000
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x=\frac{300000000}{1.5}
Divide both sides by 1.5.
x=\frac{3000000000}{15}
Expand \frac{300000000}{1.5} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.
x=200000000
Divide 3000000000 by 15 to get 200000000.
