3=21+nd-d
Use the distributive property to multiply n-1 by d.
21+nd-d=3
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
nd-d=3-21
Subtract 21 from both sides.
nd-d=-18
Subtract 21 from 3 to get -18.
\left(n-1\right)d=-18
Combine all terms containing d.
\frac{\left(n-1\right)d}{n-1}=-\frac{18}{n-1}
Divide both sides by n-1.
d=-\frac{18}{n-1}
Dividing by n-1 undoes the multiplication by n-1.
3=21+nd-d
Use the distributive property to multiply n-1 by d.
21+nd-d=3
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
nd-d=3-21
Subtract 21 from both sides.
nd-d=-18
Subtract 21 from 3 to get -18.
nd=-18+d
Add d to both sides.
dn=d-18
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{dn}{d}=\frac{d-18}{d}
Divide both sides by d.
n=\frac{d-18}{d}
Dividing by d undoes the multiplication by d.
