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 + 9b = -2b + 7y - 2 for b in terms of y.
| -1\(\frac{2}{3}\)y - \(\frac{2}{3}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{5}\)y - \(\frac{1}{5}\) | |
| \(\frac{3}{8}\)y + \(\frac{1}{16}\) | |
| -\(\frac{3}{5}\)y - 1\(\frac{1}{5}\) |
