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