Using the property of equility, what first step would you take to rearrange the formula?Y equals MX plus B using X.S e quantity quantity of interest

Answer 1

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 \( B \).
