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 - 4b = -3b - 2x + 8 for b in terms of x.
| 5x - \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| -\(\frac{4}{5}\)x - \(\frac{2}{5}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 2 | |
| \(\frac{1}{14}\)x + \(\frac{9}{14}\) |
