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