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