Basic Math Examples

$y = a x + b$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as

$a x + b = y$ .

$a x + b = y$

Step 2

Subtract

$b$ from both sides of the equation.

$a x = y - b$

Step 3

Divide each term in

$a x = y - b$ by

$a$ and simplify.

Step 3.1

Divide each term in

$a x = y - b$ by

$a$ .

$\frac{a x}{a} = \frac{y}{a} + \frac{- b}{a}$

Step 3.2

Step 3.2.1.1

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{a x}{a} = \frac{y}{a} + \frac{- b}{a}$

Step 3.2.1.2

Divide

$x$ by

$1$ .

$x = \frac{y}{a} + \frac{- b}{a}$

$x = \frac{y}{a} + \frac{- b}{a}$

$x = \frac{y}{a} + \frac{- b}{a}$

Step 3.3

Simplify the right side.

Step 3.3.1

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$x = \frac{y}{a} - \frac{b}{a}$

$x = \frac{y}{a} - \frac{b}{a}$

$x = \frac{y}{a} - \frac{b}{a}$
