Solve a/n=0.35

$$\frac{ a }{ n } = 0.35$$

Solve for n

$$n=\frac{20a}{7}$$

$$a\neq 0$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

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

$$a=0.35n$$

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

$$0.35n=a$$

Divide both sides of the equation by 0.35, which is the same as multiplying both sides by the reciprocal of the fraction.

$$\frac{0.35n}{0.35}=\frac{a}{0.35}$$

Dividing by 0.35 undoes the multiplication by 0.35.

$$n=\frac{a}{0.35}$$

Divide a by 0.35 by multiplying a by the reciprocal of 0.35.

$$n=\frac{20a}{7}$$

Variable n cannot be equal to 0.

$$n=\frac{20a}{7}\text{, }n\neq 0$$

Solve for a

$$a=\frac{7n}{20}$$

$$n\neq 0$$

Solution Steps

Multiply both sides of the equation by n.

$$a=0.35n$$
