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