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