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 - 2b = -8b + 5x - 2 for b in terms of x.
| -1\(\frac{1}{6}\)x + \(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| -x + 7 | |
| \(\frac{11}{13}\)x - \(\frac{1}{13}\) | |
| 2\(\frac{1}{3}\)x - \(\frac{2}{3}\) |
