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