Math Problem Statement

B=my+x solve for m

Solution

To solve the equation B=my+xB = my + x for mm, follow these steps:

  1. Subtract xx from both sides of the equation: Bx=myB - x = my

  2. Now, divide both sides of the equation by yy to isolate mm: m=Bxym = \frac{B - x}{y}

Thus, the solution for mm is: m=Bxym = \frac{B - x}{y}


Would you like further clarification on this solution? Here are some related questions:

  1. How would you solve for yy in the equation B=my+xB = my + x?
  2. What happens if y=0y = 0 in this equation?
  3. How can you graph this equation in terms of mm and BB?
  4. How does changing xx affect the value of mm?
  5. What other methods can be used to solve for a variable in a linear equation?

Tip: Always check the constraints before solving; for instance, if any denominator can be zero, the equation becomes undefined.
