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 -8b + 5b = 5b - 7x - 1 for b in terms of x.
| \(\frac{12}{13}\)x + \(\frac{1}{13}\) | |
| 6\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 1 | |
| 3\(\frac{1}{3}\)x - 3 | |
| 4x - 2 |
