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