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 + 7b = -6b - 2y - 2 for b in terms of y.
| \(\frac{5}{12}\)y - \(\frac{1}{6}\) | |
| -1\(\frac{5}{6}\)y - \(\frac{5}{6}\) | |
| 4\(\frac{1}{2}\)y + 1 | |
| -\(\frac{3}{7}\)y - \(\frac{1}{7}\) |
