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