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 -b + b = -8b - 4x - 1 for b in terms of x.
| 7x - 7 | |
| 3\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 3\(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| -\(\frac{3}{14}\)x + \(\frac{9}{14}\) | |
| -\(\frac{5}{7}\)x - \(\frac{1}{7}\) |
