Solve for y y=2x+1

Problem

y=2*x+1

Solution

1. Identify the goal, which is to isolate x in terms of y to solve the equation for the independent variable.

2. Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation to begin isolating the term containing x

y−1=2*x

3. Divide both sides by 2 to solve for x

(y−1)/2=x

4. Rewrite the expression to show x as the subject.

x=(y−1)/2

Final Answer

x=(y−1)/2
