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 -3b - 3b = 9b - 8x - 7 for b in terms of x.
| \(\frac{3}{14}\)x + \(\frac{5}{14}\) | |
| \(\frac{5}{12}\)x + \(\frac{7}{12}\) | |
| -15x + 9 | |
| -1\(\frac{2}{11}\)x - \(\frac{9}{11}\) |
