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 -6b - 5b = 6b + 8x + 3 for b in terms of x.
| \(\frac{1}{5}\)x - \(\frac{1}{5}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{3}\)x - \(\frac{8}{15}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{1}{12}\)x - \(\frac{1}{4}\) | |
| 2\(\frac{4}{5}\)x - 1\(\frac{4}{5}\) |
