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 + 5b = -7b - x - 5 for b in terms of x.
| \(\frac{7}{10}\)x + \(\frac{7}{10}\) | |
| -16x - 4 | |
| -\(\frac{3}{7}\)x - \(\frac{5}{14}\) | |
| 4x + 4\(\frac{1}{2}\) |
