18 6 •

n

= 5 • 18

Find the cross products.

The cross products are equal.

6n 6n 6 = 90 = 90 6

n is multiplied by 6.

Divide both sides by 6 to undo the multiplication.

n = 15

Find the cross products.

The cross products are equal.

n is multiplied by 5.

Divide both sides by 5 to undo the multiplication.
