Answer:

"subtracting b, then dividing by m"

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for a particular variable, look a the operations that are being performed on that variable. Then "undo" those operations in reverse order.

Here, the operations done to x are ...

• multiply by m

• add b to the product

Using the above recipe, first we "undo" the additon of b. We accomplish that by subtracting b from both sides of the equation. This gives ...

y - b = mx + b - b

y - b = mx . . . . . . . . . simplify

Next, we "undo" the multiplicatin by m. We accomplish that by dividing both sides of the equation by m.

(y -b)/m = mx/m

(y -b)/m = x . . . . . . . . simplify

This is your solution for x:

x = (y - b)/m

We found it by subtracting b, then dividing by m on both sides of the equation.
