Question

Y = mx + b for x

Help me out step by step

Answer 1

Hi, there.

______

Let's solve the equation
`\boldsymbol{y=mx+b}` for x.

First off, subtract b from both sides:

`\boldsymbol{y-b=mx}`

Next, divide both sides by m:

`\boldsymbol{(y-b)/(m)=x}`

Hope the answer - and explanation - made sense,

happy studying!!

Answer 2

`\sf \bold {(y - b)/(m) = x }\\`

Explanation:

`\sf \: y = mx + b`

To remove b, subtract b from both sides.

`\sf \: y - b = mx`

To remove m, divide both sides by m.

`\sf (y - b)/(m) = (mx)/(m) \\`

`\sf (y - b)/(m) = x \\`
