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