Question

Make x the subject of y=x/3

Answer 1

This question just asks to represent this equation in respect to x, meaning we want x on one side and everything else on the other.

Our only step to do so is to multiple both sides by 3, getting rid of the fraction x was trapped in, making it 3y=x

To make it easier to understand, we can just flip it and say x=3y, but both answers work.

Answer 2

This simply means moving everything possible thing off x and isolate it.

y=x/3

We see x is stuck with a divide by 3 so we need to get rid of that by multiplying by 3 on both sides.

y*3=x/3*3

switch left and right side and simplify

x=3y

Done! as simple as that.
