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