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 + 2b = 2b - 5x - 8 for b in terms of x.
| 1\(\frac{2}{5}\)x + 1\(\frac{3}{5}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{1}{7}\)x - \(\frac{1}{14}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 2\(\frac{1}{4}\) | |
| \(\frac{5}{13}\)x - \(\frac{1}{13}\) |
