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 - b = -7b + 2x - 8 for b in terms of x.
| 14x + 8 | |
| \(\frac{7}{13}\)x - \(\frac{6}{13}\) | |
| \(\frac{3}{11}\)x - \(\frac{8}{11}\) | |
| -3x - 4 |
