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 + 2b = 4b - x + 5 for b in terms of x.
| -\(\frac{2}{3}\)x + 2\(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| 1\(\frac{8}{9}\)x - \(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{3}\)x - \(\frac{5}{9}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - \(\frac{5}{6}\) |
