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 9b + 7b = -5b - 6x - 7 for b in terms of x.
| -17x - 4 | |
| -\(\frac{1}{4}\)x - \(\frac{3}{4}\) | |
| -\(\frac{13}{14}\)x - \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| 2x - 1 |
