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