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