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