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 - 2b = -8b + 5x - 6 for b in terms of x.
| x - \(\frac{6}{7}\) | |
| -\(\frac{3}{4}\)x - 2\(\frac{1}{4}\) | |
| 5x - 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| -4x + 3 |
