Question

Solve for x. y=bx+a

Answer 1

x = $\frac{y - a}{b}$

isolate the term in x

subtract a from both sides of the equation

y - a = bx

divide both sides by b

$\frac{y - a}{b}$ = x

Answer 2

y    = bx + a

 -a          -a  

y - a = bx

$\frac{y - a}{b} = \frac{bx}{b}$

$\frac{y - a}{b} = x$
