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 -7b + 5b = -6b + 8x + 3 for b in terms of x.
| -\(\frac{5}{6}\)x - 1\(\frac{1}{6}\) | |
| -3x - 3 | |
| -8x - 9 | |
| \(\frac{1}{12}\)x - \(\frac{7}{12}\) |
