    Answer: x = 1/3y + 1 / 3 c

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Hi, to answer this question we have to solve for x:

    y = 3x + c

    3x + c = y

    isolating x (the whole term)

    3x = y + c

    x = (y+c) / 3

    Applying distributive property

    x = (y: 3) + (c : 3)

    x = 1/3y + 1 / 3 c

    Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

    X = (y - c) / 3 OR X = (y/3) - (c/3)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    If y = 3x + c

    And we are made to make "X" the subject of the formula also known ad solving for "X", all we need to do is

    Firstly, subtract both sides by c to leave out only x at one side of the equality sign

    Y = 3x + c

    Subtracting both sides by c, we have

    Y - c = 3x + c - c

    y - c = 3x.

    Secondly, divide both sides by 3 so as not to have any coefficient for x

    (Y - c) : 3 = 3x : 3

    (y - c) / 3 = x

    X = (y - c) / 3 OR X = (y/3) - (c/3)
