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