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 6b + 7b = 5b - 5x + 5 for b in terms of x.
| -15x - 7 | |
| -\(\frac{1}{3}\)x + 1\(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| -12x + 5 | |
| \(\frac{1}{2}\)x + \(\frac{1}{5}\) |
