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 -5b - 6b = 8b - 3x + 3 for b in terms of x.
| -2\(\frac{1}{3}\)x + 2\(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| -\(\frac{3}{13}\)x - \(\frac{3}{13}\) | |
| 2\(\frac{1}{6}\)x + 1 | |
| -\(\frac{4}{15}\)x - \(\frac{2}{5}\) |
