Question

Need Help with this one:
Solve for x

y=(x-3)m

Answer 1

first step:
please divide both sides by \(m\)

Answer 2

namely:
\[\frac{y}{m} = \frac{{\left( {3 - x} \right)m}}{m}\]
please simplify

Answer 3

okay one sec (:

Answer 4

so this is my answer so far, because we cross out the two m's right?

\[\frac{ y }{ m }= (3-x)\]

Answer 5

that's right!
now I multiply both sides by \(-1\), so I get:
\[ - \frac{y}{m} = - 3 + x\]

Answer 6

finalli, I add \(3\) to both sides:
\[ - \frac{y}{m} + 3 = - 3 + x + 3\]
please simplify

Answer 7

finally*

Answer 8

thank you (: give me one second

Answer 9

hint:
we can write this:
\[ - 3 + x + 3 = x + 3 - 3 = ...?\]

Answer 10

would it be -9+x=x?

Answer 11

it is:
\[x + 3 - 3 = x\]
so we get:
\[x = - \frac{y}{m} + 3\]

Answer 12

since: \(3-3=3+(-3)=0\)

Answer 13

Oh okay! I added the 3's except of crossing them out, thank you!

Answer 14

:)
