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