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