Answer: X and Y are variables which means they represent some number that you don't know. When you are working with Graphs, X and Y could be coordinates. When it wants you to solve for x you have to do the inverse opperation until you isolate the variable you are trying to solve. Basically, inverse opperations are if it is -30 on one side you would add 30 to both sides to cancel it out. When you isolate the variable it is only that one letter with everything else on the other side.
Step-by-step explanation:
If this is confusing, let me know an example question and I can help you in the comments.
If you need 3/4 cups of milk to make 8 waffles, you would need 9/4 cups to make 24 waffles because you are making 3 times the amount of waffles, so you need 3 times the amount of milk.
