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