Question

Make x the subject of y = 3x - 2

Answer 1

Answer:

x = $\frac{y+2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = 3x - 2 ( add 2 to both sides )

y + 2 = 3x ( isolate x by dividing both sides by 3 )

$\frac{y+2}{3}$ = x

Answer 2

Answer:

x = (y + 2)/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

y = 3x - 2

Step 2: Rewrite

1. Add 2 to both sides:                    y + 2 = 3x
2. Divide 3 on both sides:               (y + 2)/3 = x
3. Rewrite:                                        x = (y + 2)/3
