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 Divide both sides by y. Divide both sides by y . 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.

1 answer

To rearrange the formula \( y = mx + b \) to solve for \( x \), the first step you should take is to subtract \( b \) from both sides of the equation. This will isolate the term involving \( x \) on one side of the equation.

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