Answer:

x = y - 6

Explanation:

Use PEMDAS to move x to the other side.

y=x+6

Subtract 6 from both sides to get rid of 6 on one side to make x the subject.

y-6=x

\mathbb{FINAL\;ANSWER:}


\huge\boxed{\sf{x=y-6}}


\mathbb{SOLUTION\;WITH\;STEPS:}

Hi! Hope you are having a nice day!

In order to make x the subject, we need to solve for x.

It's easy, right?

We have

y=x+6

Move x to the left. Be sure to use the opposite operation.

y-x=6

Now, move y to the right:

-x=6-y

x=-6+y

or

x=y-6

There's an easier way:

y=x+6

y-6=x

x=y-6 (See? We ended up with the same answer :) )

Hope you could understand everything.
