To rearrange the formula \( y = mx + b \) to solve for \( x \), the first step you should take is to **subtract \( b \) from both sides of the equation**.
So, the correct answer is: **Subtract b from both sides of the equation.**
After that step, the equation would look like \( y - b = mx \), and you can then proceed to isolate \( x \) by dividing both sides by \( m \).
