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 -b - 3b = 5b - 8x - 9 for b in terms of x.
| \(\frac{5}{6}\)x + 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| x + \(\frac{2}{7}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{4}{7}\)x - \(\frac{5}{7}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{5}\)x - \(\frac{1}{15}\) |
