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