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 - 8b = -9b - 6x + 9 for b in terms of x.
| 2x + 9 | |
| 1\(\frac{1}{8}\)x - \(\frac{1}{4}\) | |
| 14x + 4 | |
| -\(\frac{3}{4}\)x + 1\(\frac{1}{8}\) |
