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 -2b - 9b = -8b + x + 1 for b in terms of x.
| 5x + 7 | |
| \(\frac{11}{13}\)x - \(\frac{7}{13}\) | |
| 1\(\frac{2}{3}\)x + \(\frac{1}{6}\) | |
| -2\(\frac{2}{3}\)x - 1 |
