To solve the equation \( y = mx + b \) for \( x \), you need to isolate \( x \) on one side of the equation. Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Subtract \( b \) from both sides:
\[
y - b = mx
\]

2. Now, divide both sides by \( m \) (assuming \( m \neq 0 \)):
\[
x = \frac{y - b}{m}
\]

So, the expression for \( x \) in terms of \( y \), \( m \), and \( b \) is:
\[
x = \frac{y - b}{m}
\]

In the equation \( y = mx + b \), when you want to isolate \( x \), you subtract \( b \) from \( y \).

Here’s the breakdown:

1. Start with the equation:
\[
y = mx + b
\]

2. To isolate the term involving \( x \), subtract \( b \) from both sides of the equation:
\[
y - b = mx
\]

So you subtract \( b \) from \( y \), not the other way around. After this step, you will get \( mx \) on one side and \( y - b \) on the other side. Then you can divide by \( m \) to solve for \( x \).

Thus, your final expression will be:
\[
x = \frac{y - b}{m}
\]

The formula for the perimeter \( P \) of a rectangle is given by:

\[
P = 2(\text{length} + \text{width})
\]

Given that the perimeter \( P \) is 60 ft and the length is 18 ft, you can substitute these values into the formula:

\[
60 = 2(18 + \text{width})
\]

Now, divide both sides by 2:

\[
30 = 18 + \text{width}
\]

Next, subtract 18 from both sides to solve for the width:

\[
\text{width} = 30 - 18
\]

\[
\text{width} = 12 \text{ ft}
\]

Thus, the width of the rectangle is **12 ft**.

The term `"/text"` could have different meanings depending on the context in which it is used. Here are a few possibilities:

1. **In Programming:** It might refer to a command or function related to text handling or formatting in a specific programming language or context. For example, in some markup languages, it could indicate that the following data should be treated as plain text.

2. **In Web Development:** It could be part of an HTML or CSS class name, used for styling text content.

3. **In Command Line Interfaces:** It might be used as part of a command syntax that specifies a text operation.

4. **In Natural Language:** It could simply indicate a reference to "text," perhaps as part of a larger discussion about text processing, manipulation, or display.
