x\times 5n=9n-b
Multiply both sides of the equation by 5n.
9n-b=x\times 5n
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-b=x\times 5n-9n
Subtract 9n from both sides.
-b=5nx-9n
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{-b}{-1}=\frac{n\left(5x-9\right)}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
b=\frac{n\left(5x-9\right)}{-1}
Dividing by -1 undoes the multiplication by -1.
b=9n-5nx
Divide n\left(-9+5x\right) by -1.
x\times 5n=9n-b
Variable n cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 5n.
x\times 5n-9n=-b
Subtract 9n from both sides.
\left(x\times 5-9\right)n=-b
Combine all terms containing n.
\left(5x-9\right)n=-b
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(5x-9\right)n}{5x-9}=-\frac{b}{5x-9}
Divide both sides by 5x-9.
n=-\frac{b}{5x-9}
Dividing by 5x-9 undoes the multiplication by 5x-9.
n=-\frac{b}{5x-9}\text{, }n\neq 0
Variable n cannot be equal to 0.
