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 - b = 3b + 8y + 1 for b in terms of y.
| 2\(\frac{3}{4}\)y - 1\(\frac{1}{4}\) | |
| -y - \(\frac{1}{4}\) | |
| -\(\frac{9}{11}\)y - \(\frac{1}{11}\) | |
| \(\frac{7}{9}\)y + \(\frac{1}{3}\) |
