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 - 8b = -3b + 3x - 8 for b in terms of x.
| -2\(\frac{3}{4}\)x + 2 | |
| \(\frac{1}{3}\)x + 2\(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| \(\frac{6}{13}\)x + \(\frac{4}{13}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + \(\frac{3}{5}\) |
