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 -2b - 4b = 7b + 6x + 8 for b in terms of x.
| -5x - 3 | |
| -\(\frac{1}{11}\)x - \(\frac{8}{11}\) | |
| x + \(\frac{2}{5}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{1}{9}\)x - \(\frac{8}{9}\) |
