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