Question

7) Solve the equation for the variable given.

Solve for x.

m=2x+b/3

Answer 1

x= m/2 - b/6

(its a lot of work...)

Explanation:

1. Subtract 2x from both sides

-2x=2x+b/3-2x

2. Simplify

-2x=b/3

3. Factor

x(m-2)=b/3

4. divide both sides by m-2; m≠2

x(m-2)/m-2=b/3/m-2 m≠2

5. Simplify again...

x=b/3(m-2); m≠2
