Isolate for x, y = mx + b

x = (y - b)/m

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First subtract b from both sides:

y = mx + b

y (-b) = mx + b (-b)

y - b = mx

Next, divide m from both sides:

(y - b)/m = (mx)/m

x = (y - b)/m

x = (y - b)/m is your answer.
