Answer:

okay, so let's take an example problem:

y = x + 4 where "y" = 5

so first, you plug in 5 in "y"'s place like so:

5 = x + 4

then, you solve for "x"

5 - 4 = 1

so therfore:

x = 1

if you need more of an explanation please do not be afraid to reach out. my goal isn't to get points, it's to help.
