Question

Solve the equation y = ax – b for the variable x.

Answer 1

Answer: y+b/a=x

Step-by-step explanation:

add b to both sides of the equation

you should get y+b=ax

then divide a by both sides

you should get y+b/a=x

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Add b to both sides

$y + b = ax - b + b$

$y + b = ax$

Step 2:  Divide both sides by a

$\frac{y+b}{a} = \frac{ax}{a}$

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

Answer:  $x = \frac{y+b}{a}$
