A logistics coordinator uses the formula m = (x - 2) / (y - 3) to calculate the slope of a delivery route on a map. When following the standard strategy to solve this equation for the variable y, what is the first step required to clear the fraction?

A land surveyor uses the formula m = (x - 2) / (y - 3) to determine the vertical coordinate y of a boundary marker based on a known slope m and horizontal coordinate x. Arrange the following steps in the correct order to solve this formula for the variable y.

A quality control specialist uses the formula $m = \frac{x-2}{y-3}$ to evaluate production tolerances. When rearranging this formula to isolate the variable $y$, the specialist must identify that $y$ is a restricted value and cannot be equal to ____.

A telecommunications technician is rearranging the formula $m = \frac{x-2}{y-3}$ to determine the vertical height ($y$) needed for a microwave link based on a signal slope ($m$) and horizontal distance ($x$). Match each algebraic operation the technician performs with the specific objective it achieves in solving the formula for $y$.

A project engineer uses the formula $m = \frac{x-2}{y-3}$ to determine the elevation ($y$) of a structural component. To clear the fraction when solving this formula for $y$, the engineer should multiply both sides of the equation by the expression $(y - 3)$.

A technical surveyor is using the formula $m = \frac{x-2}{y-3}$ to determine the vertical coordinate ($y$) of a site marker. After performing several algebraic steps, the surveyor has rearranged the formula to $my = x - 2 + 3m$. What is the final operation required to isolate the variable $y$?

A civil engineering technician is using the formula $m = \frac{x-2}{y-3}$ to determine the elevation ($y$) of a road segment. After clearing the denominator, the technician arrives at the equation $m(y - 3) = x - 2$. Which algebraic property must the technician apply to correctly rewrite the left side of the equation as $my - 3m$?
