If you want to solve for x you have to get x alone on one side of the equals sign. In order to do that you have to get rid of the stuff on the same side by doing the opposite operation so that it cancels. What you do on one side you do on. the other side to keep the equation true.
y= abx
a and b are being multiplied by x so divide by ab to cancel them out (ab/ab is 1).
y= abx/ab (ab cancels)
now divide the other side by ab to keep the equation true.
y/ab= x
Answer:
Y=MX+B is the intercept formula
Step-by-step explanation:
Y=Y
M= slope
x= x-value
B= y intercept
For a better understanding of the solution provided here, please find the diagram attached.
In the diagram, ABCD is the room.
AC is the diagonal whose length is 18.79 inches.
The length of wall AB is 17 inches.
From the given information, we have to determine the length of the BC, which is depicted a 
, because for the room to be a square, the length of the wall AB must be equal to the length of the wall BC.
In order to determine the length of the wall BC, or , we will have to employ the Pythagoras' Theorem here. Thus:
Thus, 
inches
and hence, the given room is not a square.
