1) y=mx+b (solve for b)

2) t=an+b (solve for n)

The equation is already solved for the variable t To solve for any other variable simply rearrange theequation to have the indicated variable on one sideof the equals sign and everything else on the other. For example, to solve for a: t=an+b subtract b from both sidest-b = an divide both sides by n (t-b) / n = a Or: a = (t-b) / n Work in the same manner to solve for either b or n: b = t-an n = (t-b) / a
