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 -b - 3b = 6b + 8x + 6 for b in terms of x.
-\(\frac{2}{9}\)x + \(\frac{1}{9}\) | |
-1\(\frac{4}{7}\)x - \(\frac{6}{7}\) | |
-2x + 5 | |
2x - 7 |
