Exercise 65 Page 60

Apply inverse operations to isolate x.

x=s-2r/3

Practice makes perfect
To solve the given literal equation for x, we will use the Properties of Equality to apply inverse operations on the equation. Remember, only like terms can be combined.
s=2r+3x
â–Ľ
LHS-2r=RHS-2r
s-2r=2r+3x-2r
s-2r=3x
s-2r/3=x
x=s-2r/3
