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 + 8b = -4b - x + 1 for b in terms of x.
| 3x - \(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| -2\(\frac{3}{5}\)x + 1\(\frac{1}{5}\) | |
| 8x - 4 | |
| -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 1 |
