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