Answer:


\huge\boxed{x=(W)/(3y)}

Explanation:

If we have the equation
3xy=W and we want to solve for x, our goal is to isolate x one one side of the equation.

The question we have to ask ourself is ”What’s stopping x from being isolated?”

That would be the 3 and the y.

Since we’re multiplying x by the 3 and the y, we can divide both sides by the 3 and the y to get x isolated.


3xy / 3y = w / 3y


x = (W)/(3y)

Hope this helped!
