5\times 288=3x
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 5x, the least common multiple of x,5.
1440=3x
Multiply 5 and 288 to get 1440.
3x=1440
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x=\frac{1440}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=480
Divide 1440 by 3 to get 480.
