Answer:
x=b/(ay)
Step-by-step explanation:
To make x the subject of the formula, we basically have to isolate the x.
To do this we first multiply both sides by x.
xy=b/a
Now, to isolate the x, we simply divide by y,
x=b/(ay)
So x=b/(ay) is our answer
We can apply the following properties of radicals:
