Answer:

\huge\boxed{\text{To get x on one side of the equation:} \ \ x = ...}

Step-by-step explanation:

When we solve for an equation, our goal is to find the value of the variable. Any variable can be used, but for the time being let’s assume we use x.

We can algebraeically solve equations until we get the value of x - in which we will have x equal to something.

Say we have the equation 5x+5=20. Our goal is to find the value of x. <u>We can do this by getting x isolated on one side so we have something equal to x</u>.

We can subtract 5 from both sides and divide both sides by 5.

5x=15\\\\x=3

We now know the value of x since it’s on one side of the equation.

Hope this helped!

What is the equation of the function in slope-intercept form?
Rasek [7]
To write this equation, you need use the formula y=mx+b.

m represents the slope and b represents the y intercept.

The y intercept is the point where the line touches the y axis. In this case, the y-intercept is 1.

The slope is just rise over run from one coordinate to another. The slope is 2/-1 which could be simplified as -2. The slope just means that we are going up 2 and left 1 to get to a new coordinate.

The equation is y=-2x+1

Have a good day! :)
