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