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 -9b + 2b = 7b + x + 2 for b in terms of x.
| \(\frac{1}{16}\)x - \(\frac{1}{8}\) | |
| \(\frac{2}{7}\)x - \(\frac{1}{7}\) | |
| \(\frac{5}{8}\)x + \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| -x - 2 |
