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 8b - 5b = -4b + 3x - 2 for b in terms of x.
| x + 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| \(\frac{2}{3}\)x - \(\frac{1}{6}\) | |
| -13x + 7 | |
| -1\(\frac{1}{3}\)x + 1\(\frac{1}{3}\) |
