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 3b + 5b = -b + 3x + 2 for b in terms of x.
| -\(\frac{4}{15}\)x - \(\frac{8}{15}\) | |
| 7x - 8 | |
| -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| 11x - 6 |
