Question

Using the Property of Equality, what first step would you take to rearrange the formula y=mx+b using x as the quantity of interest?(1 point)
Responses

Subtract b from both sides of the equation.
Subtract b from both sides of the equation.

Subtract mx from both sides.
Subtract m x from both sides.

Divide both sides by m.
Divide both sides by m .

Divide both sides by y.

Answer 1

To rearrange the formula \( y = mx + b \) to solve for \( x \), the first step would be to subtract \( b \) from both sides of the equation.

So the correct response is:
**Subtract b from both sides of the equation.**
