Answer:
x = (y - b)/m
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
First subtract b from both sides:
y = mx + b
y (-b) = mx + b (-b)
y - b = mx
Next, divide m from both sides:
(y - b)/m = (mx)/m
x = (y - b)/m
x = (y - b)/m is your answer.

A mixed number is in the form x y/z while a improper fraction (76/10) is in the form y/z. We can separate the fraction into two parts. One is 70/10 which = 7 and the other is 6/10 which simplifies to 3/5. So, in order to express 76/10 as a mixed number we must express it as 7 3/5 or 7 6/10. 7 3/5 is equal to 7 6/10.
I hope this helped you!
