Answer:

The value of the equation for x is
x=(y - 5)/(m)+2.

Explanation:

Consider the provided equation.


y - 5 = m(x-2)

We need to solve the equation for x.

Divide both the side by m.


(y - 5)/(m) =(m(x-2))/(m)


(y - 5)/(m) =x-2

Add 2 from both the side.


(y - 5)/(m)+2 =x

Hence, the value of the equation for x is
x=(y - 5)/(m)+2.
