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 - 4b = 7b + 7x - 2 for b in terms of x.
| -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + \(\frac{1}{6}\) | |
| -\(\frac{11}{14}\)x + \(\frac{2}{7}\) | |
| -\(\frac{11}{14}\)x + \(\frac{1}{7}\) | |
| x + 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) |
