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 + 6b = 5b - 5x - 2 for b in terms of x.
| 2\(\frac{1}{4}\)x - \(\frac{3}{4}\) | |
| 1\(\frac{3}{8}\)x - \(\frac{1}{8}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{3}\)x + \(\frac{7}{12}\) | |
| 3\(\frac{2}{3}\)x + \(\frac{2}{3}\) |
