To rearrange the formula \( Y = MX + B \) for \( X \), you want to isolate \( X \) on one side of the equation. Here's how you can do that step by step:
1. **Subtract \( B \) from both sides**:
\[
Y - B = MX
\]
2. **Now, divide both sides by \( M \)** (assuming \( M \neq 0 \)):
\[
X = \frac{Y - B}{M}
\]
Now you have \( X \) isolated. The formula \( X = \frac{Y - B}{M} \) expresses \( X \) in terms of \( Y \), \( M \), and \( B \).
1. **Subtract \( B \) from both sides**:
\[
Y - B = MX
\]
2. **Now, divide both sides by \( M \)** (assuming \( M \neq 0 \)):
\[
X = \frac{Y - B}{M}
\]
Now you have \( X \) isolated. The formula \( X = \frac{Y - B}{M} \) expresses \( X \) in terms of \( Y \), \( M \), and \( B \).
