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 - 5b = -9b - 5x - 4 for b in terms of x.
| 2\(\frac{1}{5}\)x + \(\frac{3}{5}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{5}{11}\)x - \(\frac{6}{11}\) | |
| x - \(\frac{4}{7}\) | |
| -\(\frac{7}{11}\)x + \(\frac{5}{11}\) |
