Question

Rearrange the equation so x is the independent variable. y+6=5(x−4)

Answer 1

y = 5x - 26

Explanation:

This just means you solve the equation for y:

`y+6=5(x-4)\\y+6=5x-20\\y=5x-26`

Answer 2

x = (y +26)/5

Explanation:

y+6=5(x−4)

distribute 5 inside the brackets

y + 6 = 5x - 20

y + 6 + 20 = 5x

y + 26 = 5x

divide both sides by 5

x = (y +26)/5
