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.
Divide both sides by m.
Divide both sides by m .
Subtract mx from both sides.
Subtract m x from both sides.
Divide both sides by y.

Answer 1

To rearrange the formula \( y = mx + b \) with \( x \) as the quantity of interest, 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.**
