a_{n}n=3n+1
Variable n cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by n.
a_{n}n-3n=1
Subtract 3n from both sides.
\left(a_{n}-3\right)n=1
Combine all terms containing n.
\frac{\left(a_{n}-3\right)n}{a_{n}-3}=\frac{1}{a_{n}-3}
Divide both sides by a_{n}-3.
n=\frac{1}{a_{n}-3}
Dividing by a_{n}-3 undoes the multiplication by a_{n}-3.
n=\frac{1}{a_{n}-3}\text{, }n\neq 0
Variable n cannot be equal to 0.
