Hey there! :)

Answer:

a. b = y - mx

b. x = y - b /m

c. t = I/ pr

d. t = A - p/pr

Explanation:

a. y = mx + b (for b)

Isolate the b variable by subtracting both sides by mx:

y - mx = b.

Therefore:

b = y - mx.

b. y = mx + b (for x)

Subtract 'b' from both sides:

y - b = mx

Divide 'm' from both sides:

y - b / m = x

c. I = prt

Divide both sides by pr:

I /pr = t.

d. A = p + prt

Subtract p from both sides:

A - p = prt

Divide both sides by pr:

A - p / pr = t
