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 -8b - 6b = 6b + 7x - 2 for b in terms of x.
| -4x + \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{1}{6}\)x + 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| -\(\frac{13}{14}\)x + \(\frac{1}{7}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{9}\)x + \(\frac{2}{9}\) |
