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