We are given the expression B=3Mn/2 and told to express M in terms of B and n. This means that we should apply mathematical operations on both sides of the equation so we "isolate " M on one side of the equality sign. We begin with the given equation


B=(3\cdot M\cdot n)/(2)

First, we multiply both sides by 2, so we get


2\cdot B=3\cdot M\cdot n

Next, we divide by 3 on both sides, so we get


(2\cdot B)/(3)=M\cdot n

Finally, we divide both sides by n, so we get


(2\cdot B)/(3\cdot n)=M

In this case, we have succesfully expressed M in terms of B and n
