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 = 7b + 6x + 5 for b in terms of x.
| -\(\frac{1}{15}\)x - \(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| 2x + 6 | |
| -\(\frac{1}{8}\)x - \(\frac{5}{8}\) | |
| 4x - 6 |
