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 -5b - 9b = -6b - 2x - 4 for b in terms of x.
| x - \(\frac{1}{7}\) | |
| -3\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 3 | |
| 7x - 4 | |
| -3\(\frac{1}{3}\)x + 2\(\frac{1}{3}\) |
