Solve for x y=(x-8)*m

$y = (x - 8) \cdot m$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as $(x - 8) \cdot m = y$ .

$(x - 8) \cdot m = y$

Step 2

Divide each term in $((x - 8) \cdot m) = y$ by $m$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $((x - 8) \cdot m) = y$ by $m$ .

$\frac{((x - 8) \cdot m)}{m} = \frac{y}{m}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $m$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{(x - 8) \cdot m}{m} = \frac{y}{m}$

Divide $x - 8$ by $1$ .

$x - 8 = \frac{y}{m}$

Step 3

Add $8$ to both sides of the equation.

$x = \frac{y}{m} + 8$
