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