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 + 2b = -b - 3x - 3 for b in terms of x.
| 1\(\frac{1}{4}\)x - 1\(\frac{1}{8}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{7}\)x + 1\(\frac{1}{7}\) | |
| 7\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 3 | |
| -5x - 3 |
