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