You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = y/z
Multiply both sides of the equation by z. You get:
zx = y
Divide both sides by x. You get:
z = y/x

Remember you can do anything to one side of an equation as long as you do it to the other side also. Use this principle to isolate the unknown that you are trying to solve for.
