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 2b + 4b = -7b - 2x + 8 for b in terms of x.
| \(\frac{1}{4}\)x - \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| -\(\frac{2}{3}\)x + \(\frac{8}{9}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{6}\)x - 1 |
