"Terms of x" or "Answer for x" means to rearrange an equation so that x is alone on one side of the equation. Example: Solve for x: 2x + y = z 2x + y = z -y from both sides 2x = z - y Divide both sides by 2 x = (z - y)/2 That is the solution. Basically, you want to isolate the variable you are solving for (in this case, "x").
