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 2b - 4b = -9b - 7x - 3 for b in terms of x.
| -5\(\frac{1}{3}\)x - 2 | |
| -\(\frac{3}{11}\)x - \(\frac{3}{11}\) | |
| x + \(\frac{1}{5}\) | |
| \(\frac{6}{11}\)x - \(\frac{4}{11}\) |
