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 9b - 2b = -8b - 2y + 8 for b in terms of y.
| -\(\frac{2}{9}\)y + \(\frac{8}{9}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{4}\)y + 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| y + \(\frac{8}{17}\) | |
| -\(\frac{3}{5}\)y + \(\frac{3}{5}\) |
