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 4b - 9b = -3b + 5x - 3 for b in terms of x.
| -2x - \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| -\(\frac{2}{3}\)x + 3 | |
| \(\frac{8}{11}\)x - \(\frac{2}{11}\) | |
| 2x - \(\frac{3}{7}\) |
