Question

Rearrange the equation so xxx is the independent variable.

Answer 1

Answer:

No, it's 5x - 26

Step-by-step explanation:

y + 6 = 5(x - 4)

y + 6 = 5x - 20

y = 5x - 26

Answer 2

Answer:

x = (y+26)/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation y+6=5(x-4), in order to rearrange the equation so x is the independent variable means making x the subject of the formula from the equation.

To do that, we first expand the bracket to have;

y+6 = 5x-20

Taking y+6 to the other side:

0 = 5x-20-y-6

Taking 5x to the other side we have:

-5x = -y-26

Multiplying through by minus

5x = y+26

Dividing both sides by 5

5x/5 = (y+26)/5

x = (y+26)/5

This equation gives the required function
