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 -4b + b = 4b - 7y - 3 for b in terms of y.
| 8\(\frac{1}{2}\)y - 3\(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| -\(\frac{5}{6}\)y + \(\frac{1}{3}\) | |
| \(\frac{11}{12}\)y + \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| y + \(\frac{3}{8}\) |
