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 -5b - 9b = -6b - 5x + 2 for b in terms of x.
| 4x + 2 | |
| -2x + 1 | |
| -\(\frac{6}{13}\)x + \(\frac{1}{13}\) | |
| 1\(\frac{1}{3}\)x - \(\frac{1}{2}\) |
