step 1 - rearrange equation 2 to make x/y the subjecthow? example: subtract y from both sidesx = 6 - ystep 2 - substitute x = 6 - y into equation 1.how? where x is in the...

When solving an equation with brackets, it is often easiest to expand the brackets first.3(x+1) = 21becomes...3x + 3 = 21Now this looks like an equation we know how to solve(minus three from both sides)3x...

Our ultimate goal is to figure out what m equals.The most important thing to remember is that whatever you do to the left you also do to the right.Let us start by adding 4m to both sides: 5m+4m-2=16-4m+4 ...
