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 - 3b = 9b + 6x + 9 for b in terms of x.
| -\(\frac{9}{17}\)x - \(\frac{9}{17}\) | |
| -3x - 3 | |
| 1\(\frac{4}{7}\)x - \(\frac{5}{7}\) | |
| 4x - 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) |
