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 6b - 5b = b + x + 8 for b in terms of x.
| 1\(\frac{1}{5}\)x + 1\(\frac{3}{5}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{1}{4}\)x - \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| x - 1\(\frac{1}{5}\) | |
| 15x + 1 |
