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 9b - 8b = -7b + 5x - 6 for b in terms of x.
| -5x - 4\(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| \(\frac{13}{16}\)x - \(\frac{3}{8}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{2}{3}\)x + 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| -x - \(\frac{5}{11}\) |
