Lets start with the algebraic equation

5x=15

you want to isolate the variable in the equation so you end up with x= ...

x is being multiplied by 5, in order to cancel out the 5 divide the entire equation by 5 (BOTH SIDES OF THE EQUATION)

5x=15
———
5

5x becomes x

15 becomes 3

you are left with x=3
