How+to+Solve+for+X+or+Y

When solving for X or Y, MAKE A CHART!

For example, your chart will look like the one shown below: If you would like to solve for Y then pick a few numbers for X and plug them into your equation.
 * > X ||> Y ||

For example, say your equation is Y=2X+6. Make a chart with the X values you are going to use:


 * X || Y ||
 * 1 ||  ||
 * 2 ||  ||
 * 3 ||  ||

One by one enter the amounts you put in your chart. First you would put 1 into the equation:

Y=2(1)+6

To find out what Y would equal when X is 1 you would multiply 2 x 1 and then add that to 6. Therefore when X=1 then Y=8 Given that you found the value for Y when X=1 you want to plus Y's value into your chart:

You would continue this process until your chart is filled out completely!
 * X || Y ||
 * 1 || 8 ||
 * 2 ||  ||
 * 3 ||  ||


 * When trying to solve for B you would need to plug both X, Y & M into the equation!
