Making x the subject of the equation (rational function). .
These are two examples, one specific, and one more general, where you are given y as a function of x, and we want to find what x is in terms of y, so we want to make x the subject of the equation. Algebraic operations are used and details shown to solve this question.
Question 1: If y=\displaystyle{3x+1\over 7x-3}, make x the subject of the equation.
Solution:
==========================================
and more generally, for all examples of this type we have
Question 2: Suppose that y=\displaystyle{ax+b\over cx+d}, where a,b,c,d are real numbers. Make x the subject of the equation. (That is, find x in terms of y and a,b,c,d)
Solution
