Question

The subject of the formula below is y .

Y=x-5
Rearrange the formula to make x the subject

Answer 1

y + 5 = x

Explanation:

In other words, solve y = x - 5 for x. To do this, add 5 to both sides, to isolate x:

y + 5 = x

Answer 2

x = y + 5

Explanation:

This is quite simple! Just solve for x:

`y = x -5`

Now, add 5 to both sides to get rid of it on the right side:

`y + 5 = x - 5 + 5`

`y + 5 = x+0`

`x = y+5`

Now, the subject of the formula is x. Done!
