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