Answer 1

Since there is no value for either X or Y given, you can only change the formula around to equal X.

y=45x+38

First move the 38 to the left side by canceling it out (subtract 38 from both sides).

y-38=45x+38-38

So now we have:
y-38=45x

Now isolate the x on the right side by dividing both sides by 45.

(y-38) / 45 = x

So,

x = (y-38) / 45

(If the answer you’re looking for is a specific number, then the value for X or Y needs to be given!)
