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 - 9b = -9b - 5x + 9 for b in terms of x.
| \(\frac{1}{3}\)x - 1\(\frac{2}{3}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{1}{4}\)x + \(\frac{7}{12}\) | |
| -10x - 2 | |
| \(\frac{4}{17}\)x + \(\frac{9}{17}\) |
