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 -6b - 8b = 4b + 5x - 7 for b in terms of x.
| -1\(\frac{3}{10}\)x + \(\frac{7}{10}\) | |
| 16x - 8 | |
| -1\(\frac{3}{7}\)x - \(\frac{6}{7}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{16}\)x - \(\frac{3}{16}\) |
