Answer 2

-.- thats why I'm here....it doesn't make sense to me.

Answer 3

x = b - a
x = b/a
x = (d - a)/2

Answer 4

Alright LA-MrC, So basically leaving "x" by itself, and transferring the others "variables" to the other side?

Answer 5

"make x the subject of ..." is bad math teacherese for "solve for x"

Answer 6

Yes. Now x is the "subject" of each equation (statement).
