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 -9b - 6b = 4b + 5x - 8 for b in terms of x.
| -\(\frac{11}{13}\)x + \(\frac{8}{13}\) | |
| -\(\frac{4}{5}\)x - \(\frac{4}{5}\) | |
| -\(\frac{2}{5}\)x - 1\(\frac{1}{5}\) | |
| x + \(\frac{1}{7}\) |
