Answer:

N=0

Explanation:

We have been given that a number N is multiplied by 3. So our number would be
$3\cdot N$ .

We are also told that N is divided by 3. So our number would be
(N)/(3) .

As we are told that the both results are same, so we can equate both expressions as:

$3\cdot N=(N)/(3)$

$3*3\cdot N=(N)/(3)*3$

9N=N

9N-N=N-N

8N=0

(8N)/(N)=(0)/(N)

N=0

Therefore, the value of N is 0.
