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