Answer 1

x=b+y-ma.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:

`m=(b+y-x)/(a)`

We are required to solve the equation for x.

To do this, first, cross-multiply:

`b+y-x=ma`

Next, add x to both sides:

`\begin{gathered} b+y-x+x=ma+x \\ \implies b+y=ma+x \end{gathered}`

Finally, subtract ma from both sides of the equation:

`\begin{gathered} b+y-ma=ma-ma+x \\ \implies x=b+y-ma \end{gathered}`

The equation solved for x is x=b+y-ma.
