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 -8b + 9b = -9b - x + 5 for b in terms of x.
| -1\(\frac{3}{5}\)x + \(\frac{2}{5}\) | |
| -11x - 1 | |
| -10x + 5 | |
| x + \(\frac{2}{9}\) |
