Question 257987
Given:{{{y = 3x+2}}} solve for x:
{{{y = 3x+2}}} Subtract 2 from both sides.
{{{y-2 = 3x}}} Divide both sides by 3.
{{{(1/3)(y-2) = x}}} or {{{x = (1/3)(y-2)}}}
Another example:
{{{y = 5x-6}}} Add 6 to both sides.
{{{y+6 = 5x}}} Divide both sides by 5.
{{{(1/5)(y+6) = x}}} or {{{x = (1/5)(y+6)}}}
