An algorithm is a process or sequence of events that leads to some solution.

 

Ex. Put this in y = mx + b --> 3x - y = 5

The algorithm for this would be:

1) Initial --> 3x - y = 5

2) Place terms with x on the right side

3) Divide both sides by -

4) End --> y = mx + b --> y = 3x - 5

 

Note: another algorithm would be to add y to both sides and subtract 5 from both sides.
