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 + 3b = 2b - 8x + 2 for b in terms of x.
| 3x - 3 | |
| -2\(\frac{3}{4}\)x + \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{2}{3}\)x + \(\frac{1}{6}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{2}{5}\)x - \(\frac{4}{5}\) |
