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 -3b - 8b = 8b + 5x - 8 for b in terms of x.
| -\(\frac{1}{11}\)x - \(\frac{6}{11}\) | |
| -x - \(\frac{3}{4}\) | |
| -\(\frac{2}{5}\)x + \(\frac{7}{10}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{2}{11}\)x + \(\frac{8}{11}\) |
