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