Solve for x y=mx-c

$y = m x - c$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as $m x - c = y$ .

$m x - c = y$

Step 2

Add $c$ to both sides of the equation.

$m x = y + c$

Step 3

Divide each term in $m x = y + c$ by $m$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $m x = y + c$ by $m$ .

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

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $m$ .

Cancel the common factor.

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

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

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