To rearrange the formula \( y = mx + b \) with \( x \) as the quantity of interest, the first step you would take is to **subtract \( b \) from both sides of the equation**.
This gives you:
\[ y - b = mx \]
From there, you can continue to isolate \( x \).
This gives you:
\[ y - b = mx \]
From there, you can continue to isolate \( x \).
