When solving an equation with two variables, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)
Solve -2b + 7b = -8b + 7x - 5 for b in terms of x.
| x - \(\frac{5}{6}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{2}{13}\)x - \(\frac{4}{13}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{8}\)x - \(\frac{5}{8}\) | |
| 1\(\frac{2}{3}\)x - \(\frac{1}{3}\) |
