91\times 6=n\left(\lambda +1\right)\left(2n+1\right)
Multiply both sides by 6.
546=n\left(\lambda +1\right)\left(2n+1\right)
Multiply 91 and 6 to get 546.
546=\left(n\lambda +n\right)\left(2n+1\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply n by \lambda +1.
546=2\lambda n^{2}+n\lambda +2n^{2}+n
Use the distributive property to multiply n\lambda +n by 2n+1.
2\lambda n^{2}+n\lambda +2n^{2}+n=546
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
2\lambda n^{2}+n\lambda +n=546-2n^{2}
Subtract 2n^{2} from both sides.
2\lambda n^{2}+n\lambda =546-2n^{2}-n
Subtract n from both sides.
\left(2n^{2}+n\right)\lambda =546-2n^{2}-n
Combine all terms containing \lambda .
\left(2n^{2}+n\right)\lambda =546-n-2n^{2}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(2n^{2}+n\right)\lambda }{2n^{2}+n}=\frac{546-n-2n^{2}}{2n^{2}+n}
Divide both sides by 2n^{2}+n.
\lambda =\frac{546-n-2n^{2}}{2n^{2}+n}
Dividing by 2n^{2}+n undoes the multiplication by 2n^{2}+n.
\lambda =\frac{546-n-2n^{2}}{n\left(2n+1\right)}
Divide 546-2n^{2}-n by 2n^{2}+n.
