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