Hi all. I'm freshing my memory as I'm returning back to studying, working through various topics. I've stumbled across this issue I cannot get my head around.
I've got the following formula: y =7 - 2x and I'm trying to find x. Now all I remember is that what you do on one side you do to the other. Are there any special cases where if you have a co efficient on the left of the subject? I have the answer to the above and it's:
X = 7-y / 2
I would of thought it'll be
X = y + 7 / 2
What pitfalls am I missing? Thanks
