y=x+k/m

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What are you trying to get by itself to solve for?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or, in other words, which letter are you trying to solve for?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright, so we want to get x by itself. So y=x+k/m|dw:1417285253494:dw|

OpenStudy (unanimoose):

y = x + k/m Cancel out each variable and try to isolate x with SADMEP. SADMEP = Subtraction, Addition, Division, Multiplication, Exponent, Parenthesis. So using sadmep, what should we do first to get x isolated?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So divide k/m by its recipricol.

OpenStudy (unanimoose):

Hmm, forget SADMEP. Multiplying comes first.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Remember what you do to one side of the equation you have to do to the other side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pemdas

OpenStudy (unanimoose):

Yeah I got confused, it's pemdas.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So y=x+k/m (m/k) k/m cancels out on this side, and so then you are left with y times m/k equals x. C:
