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 9b - 5b = -9b - 5x - 8 for b in terms of x.
| x - \(\frac{4}{9}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{11}\)x - \(\frac{2}{11}\) | |
| 2x + 1 | |
| -\(\frac{3}{11}\)x - \(\frac{9}{11}\) |
