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 + b = b - 8x + 8 for b in terms of x.
| -2\(\frac{1}{6}\)x - 1 | |
| -9x + 8 | |
| 2x + \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| -\(\frac{2}{5}\)x + \(\frac{1}{2}\) |
