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