Solve for x y-3x=0

$y - 3 x = 0$

Step 1

Subtract $y$ from both sides of the equation.

$- 3 x = - y$

Step 2

Divide each term in $- 3 x = - y$ by $- 3$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- 3 x = - y$ by $- 3$ .

$\frac{- 3 x}{- 3} = \frac{- y}{- 3}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $- 3$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- 3 x}{- 3} = \frac{- y}{- 3}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{- y}{- 3}$

Simplify the right side.

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

$x = \frac{y}{3}$
