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 9b - 4b = 3b - 5x + 8 for b in terms of x.
| -11x - 5 | |
| 1\(\frac{5}{6}\)x - 1\(\frac{1}{6}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{6}\)x + 1\(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| -\(\frac{2}{3}\)x - 2\(\frac{2}{3}\) |
