If y - b / x - 2 = m then x is equal to

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is expressed as

(y - b) / (x - 2) = m

We want to express x in terms of m, b and y. The first step is to multiply the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by (x - 2). It becomes

(y - b) / (x - 2) × (x - 2) = m(x - 2)

(y - b) = m(x - 2)

The next step would be to divide the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by m. It becomes

(y - b)/m = m(x - 2)/m

(y - b)/m = (x - 2)

The last step would be to add 2 to the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation. It becomes

[(y - b)/m] + 2 = x - 2 + 2

x = [(y - b)/m] + 2

answer:   b

step-by-step explanation:

x2 = 16

x can not be a negative number because 16 is positive

the only answer would be positive 8  

answer: 4  

the square root of 16 is 4. it is a very simple mathematic concept. a square root when a number multiplied by itself will result in a number. here, the number 16 comes when 4 is multiplied by 4. hence the square root of 16 is 4. you can always figure out a square root by the inverse operation of squaring.
