To make x the subject of the equation
y
=
3
x
−
2
y=3x−2, you can isolate
x
x:
Start with the equation:
y
=
3
x
−
2
y=3x−2.
First, add 2 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with
3
x
3x:
y
+
2
=
3
x
y+2=3x.
Finally, divide both sides by 3 to solve for
x
x:
x
=
y
+
2
3
x=
3
y+2
.
So,
x
x is the subject of the equation
y
=
3
x
−
2
y=3x−2, and it can be expressed as
x
=
y
+
2
3
x=
3
y+2
