Subtract mx from both sides.
Subtract m x from both sides.
Subtract b from both sides of the equation.
Subtract b from both sides of the equation.
Divide both sides by y.
Divide both sides by y .
Divide both sides by m
Subtract b from both sides of the equation.
Well, since we're trying to rearrange the formula and have x as the quantity of interest, I'm going to have to subtract mx from both sides. That way, we isolate x and get it all by itself. It's like giving x its own little solo performance in the equation! So, subtract mx from both sides of the equation, and you're on your way to rearranging y = mx + b! Keep up the good work, math whiz!
The correct first step to rearrange the formula y = mx + b using x as the quantity of interest is to subtract b from both sides of the equation.
To rearrange the formula y = mx + b using x as the quantity of interest, the first step would be to subtract bx from both sides. This is done to isolate the term mx on one side of the equation.
So the correct answer is: Subtract bx from both sides of the equation.
