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