Question

Rearrange y =1/2x+1to make x the subject.

Answer 1

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

`y = (1)/(2) x + 1 \\`

Multiply sides by 2

`2 * y = 2 * ( (1)/(2) x + 1) \\`

`2y =( 2 * (1)/(2) x) + (2 * 1) \\`

`2y = x + 2`

`x + 2 = 2y`

Subtract sides 2

`x + 2 - 2 = 2y - 2`

`x = 2y - 2`

Done...

Answer 2

The answer is x = 2y - 2

Explanation:

Question: y = 1/2x + 1

Given:

equation: y = 1/2x + 1

Unknown:

Equation in x = ?

1. Move the x variable to the side that the y is on.

y = 1/2x + 1

-1/2x -1/2x

2. Move the y to the side of the y-intercept

y - 1/2x = 1

-y - y

3. Divide both sides by -1/2 or multiply by -2

-1/2x = -y + 1

*-2 -2(-y + 1)

The answer is x = 2y - 2
