What is the first step to solve for w.

• multiply a to both sides of the equation

• add a to both sides of the equation

• subtract a to both sides of the equation

Solve for w.

• w = ap

• w = p/a

• w = a/p

• w = a+ p

Answer explanation

Remember to multiply both sides by a

What is the first step to solve for x?

• multiply both sides of the equation by b

• add both sides of the equations by v

Answer explanation

$b\cdot y=\frac{\left(x-v\right)}{b}\cdot b$

What is the second step to solve for x?

• multiply both sides of the equation by b

• add both sides of the equations by v

Answer explanation

$\ v+by=x-v\ +\ v$

Solve for x:

• x = yb - v

• x = by - v

• x = by + v

Answer explanation

$by+v=x$
