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 + 3b = -9b - 8x + 7 for b in terms of x.
| \(\frac{1}{7}\)x - \(\frac{6}{7}\) | |
| -x - 7 | |
| -2\(\frac{1}{5}\)x - \(\frac{3}{5}\) | |
| -\(\frac{11}{17}\)x + \(\frac{7}{17}\) |
