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 - 7b = 7b + 5x - 1 for b in terms of x.
| \(\frac{2}{3}\)x - 1 | |
| -\(\frac{3}{4}\)x + \(\frac{9}{16}\) | |
| -12x + 1 | |
| -\(\frac{3}{7}\)x - 1\(\frac{2}{7}\) |
