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 -7b - 3b = 2b + 7x + 6 for b in terms of x.
| 8x - 5 | |
| -1\(\frac{1}{9}\)x - \(\frac{2}{3}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{6}\)x + \(\frac{5}{18}\) | |
| x - 1 |
