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