Solve for x (x-a)m=y

$(x - a) m = y$

Step 1

Divide each term in $(x - a) m = y$ by $m$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $(x - a) m = y$ by $m$ .

$\frac{(x - a) m}{m} = \frac{y}{m}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $m$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{(x - a) m}{m} = \frac{y}{m}$

Divide $x - a$ by $1$ .

$x - a = \frac{y}{m}$

Step 2

Add $a$ to both sides of the equation.

$x = \frac{y}{m} + a$
