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 b + b = 9b + 9x - 8 for b in terms of x.
| -x - 3 | |
| \(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| -x + 1 | |
| 1\(\frac{1}{6}\)x + \(\frac{1}{6}\) |
