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