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 -7b - 5b = 9b - 2x + 2 for b in terms of x.
| 1\(\frac{2}{5}\)x - \(\frac{3}{5}\) | |
| -\(\frac{3}{16}\)x - \(\frac{1}{8}\) | |
| 2\(\frac{3}{4}\)x + 1 | |
| -\(\frac{2}{15}\)x + \(\frac{3}{5}\) |
