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 - 2b = 6b + 8x + 6 for b in terms of x.
| \(\frac{5}{16}\)x - \(\frac{3}{8}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{1}{4}\)x - \(\frac{3}{4}\) | |
| -2x - 2 | |
| 4\(\frac{1}{3}\)x + 2\(\frac{2}{3}\) |
