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 + 9b = -5b - 7y + 2 for b in terms of y.
| 8y - 3 | |
| -1\(\frac{1}{7}\)y + \(\frac{1}{7}\) | |
| -\(\frac{1}{11}\)y + \(\frac{5}{11}\) | |
| \(\frac{1}{5}\)y + \(\frac{3}{5}\) |
