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 5b - 3b = -7b - 8x - 3 for b in terms of x.
| 2\(\frac{1}{3}\)x - 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| 11x - 9 | |
| -\(\frac{5}{12}\)x - \(\frac{1}{4}\) | |
| 2x + 1 |
