15=3nx_{1}+2nx_{1}
Combine nx_{1} and 2nx_{1} to get 3nx_{1}.
15=5nx_{1}
Combine 3nx_{1} and 2nx_{1} to get 5nx_{1}.
5nx_{1}=15
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
5x_{1}n=15
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{5x_{1}n}{5x_{1}}=\frac{15}{5x_{1}}
Divide both sides by 5x_{1}.
n=\frac{15}{5x_{1}}
Dividing by 5x_{1} undoes the multiplication by 5x_{1}.
n=\frac{3}{x_{1}}
Divide 15 by 5x_{1}.
15=3nx_{1}+2nx_{1}
Combine nx_{1} and 2nx_{1} to get 3nx_{1}.
15=5nx_{1}
Combine 3nx_{1} and 2nx_{1} to get 5nx_{1}.
5nx_{1}=15
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\frac{5nx_{1}}{5n}=\frac{15}{5n}
Divide both sides by 5n.
x_{1}=\frac{15}{5n}
Dividing by 5n undoes the multiplication by 5n.
x_{1}=\frac{3}{n}
Divide 15 by 5n.
