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 - 4b = 6b - x + 1 for b in terms of x.
| 2x + 1 | |
| \(\frac{2}{5}\)x + \(\frac{4}{5}\) | |
| -\(\frac{3}{14}\)x - \(\frac{1}{14}\) | |
| 3x - 2 |
