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 -b + 6b = -2b + x + 3 for b in terms of x.
| -5x + 3 | |
| -4x + \(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| \(\frac{5}{8}\)x + \(\frac{1}{8}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{5}\)x - \(\frac{1}{5}\) |
