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 - 7b = -b - x + 5 for b in terms of x.
| 1\(\frac{1}{6}\)x - 1 | |
| -\(\frac{2}{3}\)x - \(\frac{2}{3}\) | |
| \(\frac{2}{3}\)x + \(\frac{5}{9}\) | |
| \(\frac{3}{13}\)x - \(\frac{9}{13}\) |
