y=mx+b, for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You want to solve for x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You want to first isolate it.. so carry the b term over, and tell me what you get.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y-b=mx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now, can you divide both sides by m?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

...Why not o.o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not sure on how to do this? the answers are in the back of my book but i don't wanna cheat.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean i guess it is possible to divide it by m but I don't know how or where to start... I hate this subject....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you divide mx by m, you only have x left, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes... so it would be x= y-b/m

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Perfect!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok... thanks...
