Solve for the indicated variable.
\n" ); document.write( " y = mx + b, for x
\n" ); document.write( "1st: Isolate the term that contains the \"x\":
\n" ); document.write( "2nd: How? Subtract b fromboth sides of the equation to get:
\n" ); document.write( "mx = y - b
\n" ); document.write( "3rd: Divide both sides of the equation by \"m\" to get:
\n" ); document.write( "x = (y-b)/m
\n" ); document.write( "=================
